Career
[edit]Ana María Marcela Yarce Viveros
[edit]Yarce studied communications at Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla.[1] She became a journalist and co-founded the magazine, Contralínea, where she managed its public relations department.[2]
Rocío González Trápaga

Death
[edit]Witnesses say that Yarce and González were reportedly seen between 10 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. outside the offices of the Contralínea.[1][3] The two women were found naked in a field of a park in Mexico City. They both died of asphyxiation and were shot multiple times.[4][5][2][6][7][8]
Later it was found during the investigation that González had withdrawn about 1 million pesos from her exchange business.[9]
Lázaro Hernández Ángeles was sentenced to 109 years for the double homicide in 2012.[10][11][12]
Context
[edit]Contralínea has been the subject of attacks for years.[13][14]
Impact
[edit]Mexico has proved to be one of the most dangerous locations for journalists. Due to the war against the drug cartel many reporters have been murdered for seeking the truth and publishing it. However, journalistic murders are fairly rare in Mexico City where the two women were killed.[15] Since the war against the numerous drug cartels in Mexico started in 2006, there have been at least 60 journalists murdered, including Ana María Marcela Yarce Viveros and Rocío González Trápaga.[2]
Reactions
[edit]A letter from Contralínea, the magazine Ana María Marcela Yarce Viveros co-founded:
"We in the team of journalists of this media, with deep sadness but also with indignation, we demand that the authorities investigate these unfortunate events. We join the grief felt by families and friends of the two journalists and demand justice."[16]
