Has Mexico City found its much-sought-after “dog killer”?

Has Mexico City found its much-sought-after “dog killer”?

Investigators think a fed-up 75-year-old woman has been poisoning pets in Parque México

For the past month, the residents of one of Mexico City’s most upscale neighborhoods have been searching for a killer.

They have been looking for the person who was behind a rash of poisonings at a nearby park in Condesa. The victims: dogs of all breeds, some wearing expensive collars and other accessories bought by their owners.

The suspect would mix rat poison with food leftovers and plant the venomous concoctions in the dog park area of Parque México, for the unsuspecting animals that ran and played in one of the city’s most popular green spots.

In just four days, 19 dogs were reported dead. After a month-long search, prosecutors announced that they might have their suspect: a 75-year-old woman who is reportedly fed up with the mess the animals were leaving in her garden.
