She died in hospital three days after being doused in alcohol and set alight
A mum was burned alive after calling out about the abuse her disabled son received. Luz Raquel Padilla Gutierrez, 35, from Mexico, was savagely attacked on July 16 before tragically dying in hospital of her injuries three days later.
Proceso reported one of the attackers was her ex-partner, but sources close to the mum believe the assault was perpetrated by an angry neighbour, who had complained of the noises made by her disabled son. Luiz Raquel was rushed to hospital following the attack with third-degree burns, but she succumbed to her wounds a few days later, according to Mirror Online.
According to a statement by the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s office, an investigation was opened. It said the Ministerio Público, the police body tasked with protecting witnesses, had provided her with protective measures. This was contradicted by a statement left by an activist group she was a part of, which claimed her pleas were rejected.
Luz Raquel played an active part of YoCuido Mexico, set up for families caring for those with disabilities, and they released a statement.
