London, Sept 8 (ANI): A Mexican man has been accused of imprisoning two teenage girls and fathering five children by them before killing one and their baby.
Jorge Iniestra, 32, from Mexico City, allegedly abused the teenagers, the daughters of his girlfriend, for seven years and refused to let them outside.
In a chilling parallel to Austrian Josef Fritzl, he is said to have pulled the girls out of school and locked them in a single, filthy room in his mother's house.
Prosecutors say Iniestra, a part-time taxi driver, eventually beat one of the girls to death and then smothered a three-month-old baby they had together.
Their bodies were allegedly left in the tiny, fetid room for more than a month until they were dumped on a highway.
Police have also arrested Iniestra's mother, brothers and sisters and the girls' mother for covering up the abuse and not allowing them to escape.
"He kept them totally hidden with the windows covered with wooden planks," the Daily Mail quoted Mexico City's attorney general Miguel Mancera as saying.
"The conditions were absolutely horrible in the room where he kept the girls. They had to use the bathroom there and their brother had to clean everything up by hand," Mancera revealed.
Iniestra also forced the girls' younger brother to sell cardboard and candles outside school to make money, and he was beaten with a belt or tied up naked if he did not bring back enough cash for the family, who were based in the Iztapalapa area.
The incident came to light when the girls' mother, Clara Tapia, who is also under arrest, ultimately lodged a complaint with police that led to the children's rescue.
The attorney general's office says she was so terrorised that she gave her entire savings and her debit card to Iniestra.
The youngest surviving child, a three-month-old baby, was taken to hospital with blunt head trauma after allegedly being beaten by him. (ANI)
