Debanhi Escobar, the 18-year-old girl who was found dead in a motel cistern in Nuevo León, Mexico, was murdered and sexually assaulted, according to the second autopsy her family commissioned.
In the forensic medical report, which was consulted by the newspaper El País, it is stated that the cause of death was a blunt blow to the head.
The same thing that had been established in the first autopsy released by the authorities.
But more details from the second report reveal that his death was not accidental.
Describing the manner in which the law student from the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon died, the report indicates that she suffered several contusions to the head, "of external origin to the body and because they were intense, repeated [on several occasions] and with different angles of impact, it follows that they were caused by another person and that it is a violent homicidal death”.

In addition, it is stated that Escobar was the victim of a sexual assault, something that had not been mentioned in the first autopsy and was one of the big questions in the case.
"The body shows signs of a vaginal, violent and recent sexual relationship,"
indicates the report to which the aforementioned media had access.
"This is deduced from having found violaceous ecchymoses and bruises" in the outer area of the genitals.
Noticias Telemundo has not had independent access to the forensic report requested by Mario Escobar, father of the alleged murder and rape victim, since May 2.
There is at least one major contradiction in the two forensic reports
.
While in the first the authorities assured that Escobar had fallen into the cistern alive, in the second it is stated that she "was already lifeless at the time of entering the water of the place where the body was found."
The Nuevo León Prosecutor's Office has not yet ruled on the results of the second autopsy, of which it is already aware because it has been included in the investigation folder since Mario Escobar shared the report with them.

Escobar's father had announced at the beginning of last week that his daughter's second autopsy report presented "specific differences" with respect to the first and questioned the version that she had accidentally fallen into the cistern.
Although he declined to elaborate further on the content of the report at the time, Mario Escobar said his daughter's Converse sneakers "were not on her feet";
that is to say, that she was barefoot.
“If she had fallen, she would have fallen with the sneakers.
To take off the
converse
that she used, she would have had to sit down to untie the shoelaces, ”she said then.
What both autopsies agree on is that Escobar did not drown.
Although her body fell into the cistern - according to the first version still alive or according to the most recent already dead - she was only 90 cm.
of water at the time and it did not enter her throat or her lungs.
Death by strangulation is also ruled out in both autopsies.
