14-year-old hitman jailed for murders and kidnapping
Edgar Jimenez, known as “El Ponchis,” worked for the South Pacific drug cartel in Morelos state outside Mexico City until his capture by Mexican soldiers in December, when he attempted to travel to the United States.
The attorney general’s office in Morelos said a local juvenile court had found the minor guilty of four crimes including killing four people whose mutilated bodies were found hanging from a bridge not far from Mexico City last August.
