News From the Border: Woman killed in Juárez

News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

The body of Mirtha Ivone Estrada Olivas was found by her husband lying faceup on the floor of an upstairs room. She appeared to have been stabbed in the abdomen.

Municipal police said her pants were down to her knees, but state investigators said she was dressed.

The woman's car was parked outside with its lights on. The case is being investigated by a task force on women's murders.
