Satisfactory Essays

Around midday on January 25 [2006], in Mexico City, 48-year-old single mother Juana Barraza, approached an elderly woman called Ana Maria de los Reyes, entering her house and asking for a glass of water. Once inside, Barraza picked up a stethoscope that happened to be lying on the living room table and used it to strangle her hostess. She was detained shortly afterwards as she hurried from the murder scene, identified by the victim's lodger. He had seen Barraza leave just before stumbling his landlord corpse (Tuckman, 2006).
