Man extradited to Mexico over border murders

A MEXICAN citizen who allegedly confessed to killing at least 10 women in the violent border city of Juarez is back home in his country to face justice.

Jose Francisco Granados de la Paz was extradited to stand trial for aggravated homicide in a string of slayings of women, the US Justice Department said. He is expected to appear before a Mexican judge next week.

Granados de la Paz, 30, allegedly acknowledged to Mexican and Texas authorities he killed at least 10 women near Ciudad Juarez from about 1993 to 2006 as “offerings to Satan”.
