The authorities of the state of Guanajuato, in Mexico, carried out the arrest of a man of 31 years identified as Federico Michel, after he was accused of having murdered his mother-in-law and hiding her body for 8 months.
According to various media reports, the man would have killed a woman named Martha Olimpia, who was allegedly her mother-in-law and who would have taken her life, with blows, last 18 October.
His crime would have come to light 8 months after he committed it, after residents of the Ángeles neighborhood, in the city of León, noticed that a strong fetid odor emanated from the interior of one of the houses. In addition, they indicated that the only one who entered said house was Federico, and in a somewhat suspicious attitude.

“This subject hit his mother-in-law with a blunt object until causing deep chest trauma and then put the body in a sack and buried it in the living room of a home,” detailed the Guanajuato security unit in an informative bulletin.
In fact, the father of the alleged murderer would have visited the house and noticed the excavation in the room; however, your son told you that he wanted to hide a safe that had apparently been stolen from his job.
Time Later, the neighbors began to complain about the fetid odor that emanated from the home, and even testimonial sources declared that Federico told them that said stench was due to repairs that he was making in the drainage, where he had found a dead cat.
However, his suspicious attitude led the same neighbors to enter the house that was uninhabited most of the time and there they discovered the traces of an excavation from which the pestilence emanated.
When notifying the authorities, the Public Ministry of the Attorney General of the State of Guanajuato (FGEG) went to the home last Tuesday and discovered a mattress on disturbed earth in the room, as well as a shovel, a mason’s spoon and other excavation objects.
