March 11, 2017— During the funeral of Cristian Peralta Rendón, there wasn’t just crying, there was also anger, despair, rage and calls for justice to the government on the part of their relatives and friends.
They boy was 14 years old and was studying his second year of secondary school in Chilapa, where gunmen kidnapped him on Saturday, March 4 and on Monday, March 6, he was found seriously wounded in a neighborhood east of Chilpancingo next to the corpse of another boy.
Cristian only had on a pair of boxers and had a bullet in the head. He was transferred alive to the hospital Raymundo Abarca Alarcón where he died Wednesday morning.
After midday on Thursday, Cristian’s body was transferred from his home on Calle 8 Sur de Chilapa to the cemetery where his relatives, friends, and neighbors buried him.
“What I can tell you about him is that he was a good boy, he went to school and was on his second year of secondary school, he was friendly with his friends, he lived a normal life, nothing is known that he had been involved in things or that he had been a problem child or a rebellious one. No, none of that,” said Cristian’s uncle, José Díaz Navarro, who was also a teacher in elementary school and is president of the group Siempre Vivos de Chilapa.

Díaz Navarro said that during the funeral last Thursday, there was crying, anger, despair, and rage, but also calls for justice to the government from their relatives and friends.
Díaz Navarro said that because of the war between Los Rojos and Los Ardillos in the municipalities of Tixtla and Chilapa, Los Ardillos have established a new route to transfer their victims that they kidnap in Chilapa and that they kill them and dump them in Chilpancingo.
“Today, we know that the route that they take because of the strong dispute with Los Rojos is from Chilapa to Atzacoaloya, San Ángel and Xiloxuchican. Then, they drive to Juxtlahuaca and Colotlipa, municipality of Quechultenango, they pass through the municipal capital and continue towards Mochitlán, to then arrive at Mochitlánque, which they have as a bastion, and from there, to Chilpancingo.”
The president of the group Siempre Vivos said that the activities of this criminal group are in collusion with the government, “because they allow them to do anything.”
Navarro did not rule out that this route was used to take his son after they had kidnapped him in Chilapa.
