A 65-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the murder of two Mexican midget wrestlers. The wrestlers were found drugged in a motel in the centre of Mexico City.
The suspect, Estela González Calva, aka La Tía, was supposedly caught after police traced the phone calls of one of the wrestlers.
While Calva has admitted to going with the wrestlers, twins Alberto and Alejandro Jiménez, 35, to their hotel room for about 20 minutes, she does not admit to drugging them.
The autopsy report reveals that the brothers died from heart failure due to a combination of a drug contained in eye drop medicine and alcohol. Calva also admits to buying the eye drops for her personal use but says she did not use them to drug the wrestlers and rob them.
Calva says that she was with another female friend, ‘La Gorda’ (‘The Fat One’) whom the police are now searching for. Surveillance cameras show the two women entering with the wrestlers but later leaving together without them.
The BBC reports that prosecutors say that female gangs have been drugging men to rob them.
The wrestlers, were known as El Espectrito II (‘The Little Ghost’) and La Parkita (‘Little Death’) in the Lucha Mini wrestling circuit.
