Mexico’s first openly non-binary magistrate and prominent LGBTQ activist Jesús Ociel Baena Saucedo was found dead at home in the central state of Aguascalientes on Monday.
A second person, who was identified as Baena’s romantic partner, was also found dead in the home where they both resided, according to authorities in Aguascalientes, the state nearly 500 kilometers (300 miles) northwest of the capital city.
Mexico’s Security Minister Rosa Icela Rodríguez said the cause of death is so far unknown, while Aguascalientes’ Attorney General Jesús Figueroa said there is no evidence of foul play for the moment.
Another article specified that they were literally found stabbed to death. How the fuck is there not foul play involved? Sounds like the AG is in on it or at least permissive of anti-LGBTQ+ violence.
Would that really suprise you coming from Mexico?
Like good on the people to elect them, and respect for being them for open about who they are, but the country has some serious issues and this isn’t near the top of the list unfortunately.

It was presided over by an impartial knife-fight referee.

While it isn’t surprising in Mexico, it is also not surprising from any other country either. Not sure what’s the point of singling it out.
