Exterior confirms that the murderer of the Canarian student Claudia Tacoronte has confessed to the crime

The Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jose Manuel Albares, thanked his Mexican counterpart for the swift investigation into the murder of Canary Islands student Claudia Tacoronte. The suspect, identified as Francisco Javier, alias 'El Trompas,' was arrested on Thursday and reportedly confessed to the crime. Albares emphasized Spain’s support for the victim's family, who are set to arrive in Mexico this Friday. Mexico's Attorney General for Morelos, Fernando Blumenkron Escobar, stated he would seek the maximum penalty of 70 years in prison if the case is classified as a femicide. While the motive may be robbery, authorities are pushing for a femicide classification. Evidence such as surveillance footage has been presented to support the prosecution's case. The suspect was detained in Cuautla, where the attack occurred, less than 30 hours after a warrant was issued.
