A 20-year-old man in northern Mexico has admitted to killing 45
people, and has been possibly linked to 34 other murders.
Juan
Pablo Vazquez was caught earlier this month in Monterrey where he was allegedly
selling drugs, said Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene.
Vazquez,
who said he was part of an unidentified local organized crime group, has
already admitted being behind 45 killings and ‘is related to at least 79
murders, most of them committed in 2012,’ Domene told a news conference.
Vasquez
was arrested October 8 along with 25-year-old Nancy Ortiz. Officers seized 35
baggies of weed and 22 packets of cocaine from the pair of dealers, according
to state officials.
An
unnamed Mexican official told CNN that Vasquez belonged to the
powerful Gulf Cartel, which has been waging a deadly turf war against the rival
Zetas cartel.
The
20-year-old has been in organized crime since the age of 15, according
to AFP, rising through the ranks
from an informant to a drug dealer before finally graduating to a hit
man.

Among Vasquez’s alleged victims was a transit officer who pulled
him over; a stripper who had been kidnapped from a club, and a woman who was
murdered for walking with a member of a rival cartel.

Mexico
has suffered from a wave of drug-related violence, with about 1,000 people a
month dying in gangland killings. About 80,000 people have died since 2007 in
cartel violence.
Monterrey,
the capital of the crime-ravaged state of Nuevo Leon, has recorded 223
homicides so far this year.
