The case that has Chiapas talking: Accident or attempted femicide?
Imagine this scene: a white BMW truck, one night in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, and an “accident” that the Chiapas Prosecutor’s Office does not swallow. Giovanna Karina Morales, the driver, is detained accused of attempted femicide, but her family — mother and mother-in-law included — allege that it was all an unfortunate road “whoopsie.” Spoiler: the victim, Ximena Camacho, was left with multiple fractures. Chance? The Prosecutor’s Office says not so much.
The family story: “It was just an accident, I promise”
Juana Jonapá, Giovanna’s mother, narrates the incident with the drama of a 9:00 pm soap opera: “My daughter lost control of the BMW, crashed another car and bam! She ran over Ximena.” Of course, according to her, everything was “unintentionally”. The curious thing: Ximena was walking with Josué Trejo, Giovanna’s husband. Coincidence? The Public Ministry rubs its hands like a Netflix villain.
Meanwhile, Doris Mendoza, Giovanna’s mother-in-law, throws out the information that the accused pays all of Ximena’s medical expenses (how noble, right?). “She is in the best hospital, operated on and stable,” he repeats as if that would erase the fractures. Of course, no one explains why Giovanna drove as if she were in Fast & Furious.
The collateral drama: a 16-year-old daughter alone at home
The family appeals to sentimentality: “Free Giovanna, she is a mother!”, cries Juana, while she says that her 16-year-old granddaughter has been alone since her mother was put in the El Amate prison. Of course, no one mentions how Ximena’s daughter is doing (if she has one). Priorities, right?
The case remains to be seen: the Prosecutor’s Office insists that there is criminal intent, the family swears that it was a road error, and Ximena remains hospitalized. Meanwhile, on networks, the debate is on: incompetence behind the wheel or crime of passion?
