Stories are mixed on whether this was a love affair gone wrong or simply a mentally unbalanced thief. What is clear is that he has confessed and is in custody and will likely face a long, long time in jail.<br /><br />May Renee rest in peace.CancunCanuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694054388941351498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-83733695352318851092009-09-19T12:41:44.098-05:002009-09-19T12:41:44.098-05:00Common sense is always advised.

What I was saying is that there is not some maniac killer on the loose on Isla. This was a personal attack between two people who knew each other. I still profess that women are safe anywhere on this island. I do agree with you though that people just need to use common sense.Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-74872740508825379082009-09-19T08:49:55.514-05:002009-09-19T08:49:55.514-05:00"I don't think there is anything to be co..."I don't think there is anything to be concerned about" ??????????????<br /><br />Tell that to the poor lady's friends and family...<br /><br />This is a very sad and tragic event... <br /><br />And women do need to be careful on Isla Mujeres... <br /><br />It is a great place to relax and walk around and meet people.

Even when it is bad news it is so much better to get a "here is what we are hearing here" story then a "breaking news in Mexico- another murder-" sort of story. I am so sorry to hear that paradise has been shaken up. I am sure that justice will be swift and things will return to normal again soon.Rosas Clan in Tulumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264493777912893859noreply@blogger.com
