Accused child rapist and murderer Gilberto N, 24, escapes Cancun prison. Charged with killing his 2-year-old stepson and injuring another, he fled during heavy rain. Massive manhunt underway. Prison officials removed.
In a jaw-dropping turn of events that has left the Mexican resort town of Cancun reeling, a man accused of heinous crimes against his young stepsons has managed to escape from prison, sparking a massive manhunt and raising serious questions about the security of the facility.
Gilberto N, 24, who was being held on charges of qualified homicide, rape, and qualified injuries against his two-year-old and six-year-old stepsons, made his daring escape on Saturday afternoon from the Cancun prison. The shocking incident has mobilized authorities at all levels and sent shockwaves through the local community.
The accused monster was arrested on October 11 following a horrific incident that left one child dead and another seriously injured. According to reports, Gilberto allegedly sexually abused his two-year-old stepson before beating him to death. The six-year-old child was also brutally assaulted and had to be hospitalized due to his injuries.
A source close to the investigation revealed, "The details of this case are truly stomach-turning. It's the kind of crime that haunts even seasoned detectives."
The escape has prompted swift action from the Attorney General of Quintana Roo, Raciel Villegas, who personally toured the detention center on Sunday. Accompanied by high-ranking officials, including the Undersecretary of Citizen Security, Antonio Esteban Amador Peralta, Villegas launched a thorough investigation into how such a high-profile prisoner could simply vanish.
"We're leaving no stone unturned," Villegas declared. "The content of the monitoring cameras inside the prison is being meticulously examined, and various sections of the penitentiary are under intense scrutiny."
In a dramatic development, the director of the Cancún prison, Jorge Armando López Rosas, and the operational commander, Sergio Javier Alcalá Encinas, have been removed from their posts while the investigation unfolds. The Secretariat of Citizen Security issued a stern warning, stating, "No action or omission by public servants will be tolerated."
Eyewitnesses report a flurry of activity around the prison, with law enforcement officers stationed every hundred meters and units combing the area. One local resident described the scene: "It's like something out of a movie. There are police everywhere, and the tension in the air is palpable."
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Gilberto may have taken advantage of heavy rains to make his escape, though officials have yet to confirm these details. The fugitive's current whereabouts remain unknown, despite numerous reported sightings across the city.
A police insider, speaking on condition of anonymity, shared, "We're following every lead, no matter how small. This man is considered extremely dangerous, and we're determined to bring him back into custody."
The escape has reignited public outrage over the original crimes. Maria, a local mother of three, expressed her fear and frustration: "How can we feel safe when monsters like this can just walk out of prison? Our children deserve better protection."
As the search intensifies, Attorney General Villegas has promised that the full force of the law will be brought to bear on anyone found to have aided in the escape. "This act will not go unpunished," he vowed. "We will take it to the final consequences."
With the community on edge and authorities working around the clock, the hunt for Gilberto N continues. As this shocking story unfolds, one question remains on everyone's lips: How long before this alleged child killer is brought to justice?
