EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Authorities in Nogales, Mexico, accuse a U.S. citizen of aggravated femicide, a charge that could keep him behind bars for the next 70 years.
Mexican police officers assisted by Interpol arrested Christopher N. in Mexico City on Feb. 5 and flew him to Nogales, where prosecutors on Monday charged him with the 2021 death of a Mexican woman named Kristina N.

The two were in a romantic relationship but on the afternoon of March 20, Christopher N. “exercised extreme violence resulting in multiple contusions and provoked asphyxia by suffocating the victim, resulting in death,” the Sonora Attorney General’s Office said in a statement.
Christopher N. – Mexican authorities don’t release full names of suspects or victims – allegedly fled to the United States after the death of his romantic partner. The Mexican government requested his extradition, the Attorney General’s Office said.
