President Claudia Sheinbaum spoke about the death of Dafne Quintos, which occurred last week at the Doenitz Academy, in Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas. He demanded that justice be done and recalled that the campus does not depend on Sedena, but on the state government.
“Justice has to be done, obviously, in this case,” he said during the Morning.
Sheinbaum explained that they are state education centers with military training and strict discipline. It is up to the government of Tamaulipas to investigate and the state Attorney General’s Office to clarify the facts.
Mother’s reaction
Alejandra Quintos, the teenager’s mother, regretted that the president delegated the case to local authorities. He asked for support “from woman to woman” to solve the crime.
“It is a femicide. It is a human life, it is not an animal. She died tortured, with her lungs filled with water up to the trachea. She died from asphyxiation due to submersion,” he declared.
She questioned the lack of federal action: “Aren’t they going to capture them? Isn’t it her responsibility? Isn’t she there to safeguard the entire Republic? Since the day she lost her life, there have been no detainees.”
Investigation in progress
The prosecutor of Tamaulipas, Jesús Eduardo Govea Orozco, reported that the investigations were extended to all the academy staff, including its director and owner. The campus was closed to facilitate the proceedings.
He confirmed that forensic studies established that the cause of death was asphyxia due to submersion. The folder remains open under two figures: feminicide and intentional homicide.
The case continues under the femicide protocol, while the family demands justice and that those responsible be captured.
