A mother has been apprehended after her 10-year-old daughter was drugged, raped, strangled and dismembered on her birthday.
Police officers in Albuquerque, New Mexico found tragic Victoria Martens’ burning remains in a bath tub in the family’s apartment.
Michelle Martens has been the arrested following the horrific killing of her daughter.
The three were taken into custody late Wednesday night. Police say Victoria was injected with methamphetamine, sexually assaulted, strangled and stabbed before being dismembered.
A caller told a police dispatcher before dawn on Wednesday that there was a disturbance in the apartment before officers visited the apartment to find the horrific crime scene.
“This homicide is the most gruesome act of evil I have ever seen in my career.
“A complete disregard of human life.”
A makeshift shrine for the girl had formed under a tree at the apartment complex with relatives and friends leaving flowers, balloons, stuffed animals and lit candles.
Martinez said in a statement the abuse and killing of the girl “is unspeakable and justice should come down like a hammer.”
The girl’s mother, 35-year-old Michelle Martens, her 31-year-old boyfriend, Fabian Gonzales, and his 31-year-old cousin, Jessica Kelley, face charges of child abuse resulting in death, kidnapping and tampering with evidence
