The 23-year-old woman has been sentenced to six years in prison for murdering her rapist in self-defense. Since the age of 14, Roxana Ruiz has lived immersed in a spiral of violence that has not stopped growing.
"It seems that the price for not letting yourself be raped and killed in Mexico is to go to jail," Ruiz said. The case has outraged Mexico, a country where 10 women are murdered every day and where Ruiz may have been just another statistic.
