THE half-naked body of a woman who had escaped from prison officials while facing kidnapping charges was found hanging by the neck on Friday from an overpass in Monterrey, Mexico.
It is the first time in recent memory that a woman has been killed in this manner.
Female bodies have been found decapitated or mutilated but Mexican drug cartels have saved hangings from public bridges for their male rivals.
The victim was identified as Elizabeth Muniz Tamez, aka "The Red Head," who had been charged in 2009 with belonging to a gang of kidnappers, the Public Safety Office of Nuevo Leon state, where Monterrey is located, said in a statement. Her hair had been dyed blond when the body was found.
Muniz Tamez escaped from custody on Monday, when a group of armed assailants snatched her from a prison vehicle taking her for medical treatment.
A doctor, two prison officials and three guards have been detained and are under investigation for allegedly helping her escape.
