Authorities of the State of Mexico located the body of Nazaret H.Bautista, a 15-year-old student at the Agricultural High School of the Autonomous University of Chapingo, reported missing since December 20.
In a statement, the University confirmed that on Monday 23, the lifeless body of the young woman was found, by the Office of the Office of the Persons Concerned, although without detailing yet what caused her death, or where the body was found.
“We deeply regret what has happened and will seek – institutionally and legally – the necessary measures are taken for the application of justice,” the University said.
The Mexican State Prosecutor’s Office specializing in femicides will take over the case, according to the institution.
Two of the young woman’s roommates, detailed the university, were the ones who alerted on December 20 that she had not returned to the dormitory they shared.
“The last time she had contact with a student at the institution was at approximately 5:00 p.m. on December 19, immediately starting the student’s search and giving notice of what happened to the parents,” the University of Chapingo said.
Interviews were then conducted between the students, and the student’s father filed a complaint with the Texcoco Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
“On December 21 and 22, 2019, the rector personally coordinated a search brigade within the university campus without finding the student,” the institution said.
Until the 23rd, it was that authorities of the State of Mexico found her body, and the find was communicated to the young woman’s parents.
The search file that was issued, while she was missing, contained the fact that her place of loss had been the Federal Mexico-Texcoco Highway.
According to the agency Notimex, on Thursday, December 19, Nazareth was left to meet other students in a university cafeteria known as La Meche; later it was that two of her companions, with which she shared a room, alerted that she had not returned to sleep.
The body of Nazareth, according to Notimex, was already transferred to the Sierra de Hidalgo, from where it is native.
