Two Israelis, a 24-year-old woman and her 60-year-old father were murdered in their apartment in Mexico City over the weekend, according to ZAKA representatives in the Mexico capital, who said marks of serious violence were found in the bodies.

According to ZAKA, the Israeli Embassy in Mexico City received the police announcement and has yet to release details on the identity of the two victims, whose bodies were turned over to the city’s Forensic Medicine Institute.

“The apartment was a mess and appeared to have been the scene of a struggle,” a ZAKA representative, who arrived at the apartment with police investigators, told Ynet.

A 12-year-old relative of the victims arrived at the apartment at 3 pm Friday but could not get in because the door was locked. She knocked on the door for a long time but got no answer. For an unknown reason, the police were only dispatched to the place on Saturday evening and broke into the flat.

A ZAKA representative speaking to Ynet added that the Forensic Medicine Institute in Mexico City was expected to deliver the autopsy report, which would shed light on the cause of the death, later in the day. The police investigation is ongoing.
