Chetumal, Q.R. — A man has been arrested for double homicide after being released from hospital. Authorities took Iván Gerardo “N” into custody “for his probable participation in events possibly constituting the crime of femicide against two victims, one of them a minor,” they reported.
He was arrested in central Chetumal Friday after being found at the scene of the crime December 23 with self inflicted wounds. At the scene, police also located two dead women believed to be a mother and her 10 year old daughter.
Police say the bodies were found in a state of decomposition, which is what alerted neighbors to make a report. They say Iván Gerardo “N” likely killed them days before.
Local authorities have said “the events for which he is accused occurred on December 23, 2024, when the bodies of two women were found in a state of decomposition, in a home located in the Las Casitas neighborhood.
“In the same place was Iván Gerardo “N”, with self-inflicted injuries with a sharp weapon. Presumably days before he had taken the lives of both women.”

Police say Iván Gerardo “N” was picked up on an arrest warrant while walking on Andrés Quintana Roo Avenue in Chetumal and is currently waiting for his hearing.
