MEXICAN prosecutors announced on Tuesday that they had won historic convictions and sentences of 697 years in prison for five men over the killing of 11 women near the border city of Ciudad Juarez.
The state prosecutors office in Chihuahua state said that the men had lured women with the promise of jobs, but instead subjected them to human trafficking and forced prostitution before killing them.
A statement from the office called the sentences for aggravated homicide and human trafficking exemplary and historic.
Prosecutors followed the trail of victims, many of whom disappeared in 2009 or 2010 after applying for shop jobs, to a hotel in Ciudad Juarez where the women were apparently held and forced to work as prostitutes.
