Prosecutors in Mexico have accused a 19-year-old man with the murder of a Mission, Texas woman whose body was discovered on a property.
The Nuevo León State Attorney General’s Office said Thursday that Martin Arizpe was charged with kidnapping and femicide in connection with the murder of his girlfriend, Bionce Amaya, 20.
Amaya, a mother of a four-month-old son, went missing on April 6 in the Nuevo León town of China and was discovered dead seven miles distant on April 14 at a property in the municipality of General Bravo.
The court in charge of the murder case ordered Arizpe in pre-trial custody and gave the prosecution three months to present their case.
Authorities are looking for a second male suspect in Amaya’s disappearance and murder.
Before the fatal occurrence, Amaya had travelled to her hometown of General Bravo to celebrate the Holy Week vacation.
Arizpe was driving in his automobile when Amaya was thrown out because the door was not closed.
‘Upon turning a corner at a high speed, the door was not closed properly and it opens, and it was there where the girl hit herself (on the pavement),’ China Mayor Raúl Kerr told Radio Formula.

Arizpe apparently transported Amaya to a clinic, but she was not given medical assistance, according to the mayor.
Kerr said that Arizpe ‘carried her again and put her’ in the car before driving away.
He then abandoned Amaya’s body at a ranch in El Verde’s General Bravo neighbourhood.
‘He chickened out, got scared or left her to die there,’ Kerr said.
An autopsy showed Amaya’s death was caused by a contusion to the cranium and chest.
