Luz Maida, who was three years old, was unable to comprehend what was happening when her mother woke her up in the middle of the night and shoved her into the arms of an unfamiliar guy.
According to reports, the young girl’s mother, Aurelia Salinas, just sold her to her boyfriend, who is a drug dealer. Salinas, 42, allegedly made the deal in exchange for 30 crack cocaine pieces, which were valued at roughly $12.
The ensuing events described by the police are simply unfathomable.
Heartbreaking CCTV footage of the unimaginable event, which occurred in Pedro Juan Caballero, the capital city of Paraguay, shows young Luz attempting to free herself from her abductor.
As the man walks down a muddy path carrying Luz over his shoulder, Luz can be seen wearing a blue dress decorated with images from Disney’s Frozen.
He may be seen smacking her with his free hand, according to The Sun, to stop her squirming. The girl’s body was discovered inside an abandoned home less than 24 hours later by horrified neighbors.
According to a story in the Daily Mail, the dealer allegedly raped and killed the three-year-old before leaving her body covered in a shirt on top of a bed.
The three-year-old may have been suffocated, according to early reports.
After Salinas allegedly confessed her involvement in her daughter’s murder to police, locals became enraged and attempted to lynch her as she was being taken into custody, according to local media.
The report also stated that her partner later admitted to the crime.
Initially telling police that Luz had vanished while she was sleeping, Salinas later admitted selling Luz for crack cocaine after officers found the CCTV footage.
Along with her boyfriend and a second 17-year-old who is allegedly involved, the 42-year-old was detained.
Police said that Salinas was using drugs when they searched for her daughter and appeared unconcerned about her whereabouts.
More than 300 residents are said to have attended Luz’s funeral, and once her body was found, a group of neighbors set fire to the home.
Investigators stated that the family had a “history of tragedies” after learning that the mother of eight reportedly permitted her 12-year-old daughter to be sexually molested by a 30-year-old man.
Investigations are being conducted in both incidents right now.
