The parents of a newborn abandoned on February 11 in Tultitlán, State of Mexico, have been formally charged with attempted homicide. During a court hearing in Cuautitlán, the judge ruled that Diana Jaciel “N” and Lucio David “N” will remain in custody while authorities continue investigating their alleged involvement in the crime.
Legal Proceedings: Parents Remain in Custody
Following the second court hearing, the State of Mexico Attorney General’s Office (FGJEM) provided evidence suggesting both individuals played a role in the abandonment of the newborn.
As a result, the court has ordered:
- A four-month investigation period to gather further evidence.
- Preventive detention for both suspects, meaning they will remain in prison.
Diana Jaciel “N” is currently held at the Tlalnepantla Women’s Prison, while Lucio David “N” has been transferred to the Cuautitlán Social Reintegration Center.
How Authorities Captured the Suspects
The investigation began after the shocking discovery of the newborn, which led FGJEM to take swift action.
- Diana Jaciel “N” voluntarily approached authorities, claiming her partner was responsible.
- Lucio David “N” later turned himself in at the Mexico City Attorney General’s Office (FGJCDMX).
- Both were arrested on February 14 under judicial orders and transferred to separate detention centers.
How Many Years Could They Face in Prison?
Under Article 62 of the Mexican Penal Code, attempted homicide carries a sentence of 13 to 40 years in prison. However, their final sentence will depend on the evidence collected during the investigation and the ruling of a federal judge.
Public Outrage and Calls for Justice
This case has sparked widespread outrage across Mexico, with many demanding stricter penalties for child abandonment. Advocacy groups emphasize the importance of strengthening child protection laws to prevent similar cases in the future. As the investigation continues, all eyes remain on the legal system to see whether justice will be served for the abandoned newborn.
