Morelos attorney general Uriel Carmona has been remanded to preventative custody after his dramatic arrest in Cuernavaca, Morelos, on Friday by a team that included police and heavily armed soldiers, sent by neighboring Mexico City.

Carmona is wanted on charges of obstruction of justice in the 2022 femicide case of 27-year-old Ariadna Fernanda López, believed by authorities to have happened in Mexico City.

López, 27 at the time of her death, was found dead on November 2, 2022, by the side of a Morelos highway by a cyclist. She had disappeared from Mexico City on October 30, last seen in a bar-restaurant in the Condesa neighborhood and then finally in an apartment in the Roma Sur area. Later security footage caught a man identified only as Rautel “N.” loading a lifeless body into a car believed to be López’s.

Rautel “N.” and his girlfriend Vanessa “N.” are considered the main suspects in López’s murder. Both were López’s acquaintances and had been with her at the Condesa establishment the day she disappeared. Rautel “N.” has an apartment in the building where López was last seen alive.
