Woah: Mexican Rapper Confesses to Burning Kidnapped Students in Acid
This is some twisted stuff.
A Mexican rapper confessed to murdering several students and disintegrating their bodies in acid.
A Mexican rapper with hundreds of thousands of followers on YouTube was arrested after confessing he dissolved the bodies of three missing film students in acid as part of orders from a drug cartel, officials said Wednesday.
Christian Omar Palma Gutierrez, who goes by “QBA,” and another suspect were arrested in connection with the murders of Salomon Gastelum, 25; Daniel Diaz, 20, and Marco Avalos, 20, Agence France-Presse reported.
Gutierrez told Mexican prosecutors he got rid of their bodies after they were kidnapped and killed in Jalisco state in March, according to the report.
The rapper said a friend recruited him into the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, one of Mexico's most notorious cartels, three months ago and that they paid him $159 a week, according to AFP.
The students were filming a school project at a home that was being watched by rival cartel New Generation when members of the cartel abducted them, prosecutors said. The house belongs to one of the students’ aunts, they said.New Generation apparently mistook the students’ identities for their rivals, according to prosecutors.
The students were taken to a safe house where gang members questioned them and beat one of them so badly he died, authorities said. The gang then killed the other two students and took them to another house, officials said.Authorities there found tubs filled with sulfuric acid. -(Elizabeth Elizalde, NY Daily News)
