Week 5Title: Mexico couple found with body parts could have killed 20Author: BBC NewsSource: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-45791820SummaryThe police found a couple with body parts, the man confessed thathe kill one woman and two children. The story begun with the woman(Ms Huitron) dropped their children off at school in the morningand after school the children were not picked up, so her neighborsheard the news and filed with police. After six months heard thenews that she was killed also with her children and their belongingsand body parts were sold. The situation like this always happensin Mexico, most of victims were women.My reaction/reflectionThis situation always happens with no alarm, especially with womenand children. They must keep themselves safe and watch out thestrange people who would come around any time when they go outside.In some country this kind of situation is difficult to avoid (likeMexico), so they often heard the news of people lost every day. InThailand in past many years, there was a kidnap gangs spread overthe country. Children 3-5 years old were always heard the news ofkidnap or disappear. It is one of the most serious problem ofevery country that women and children were abused and killed. Thegovernment should provide strictly rules and punishment tocriminals.
