García, Nueva León, Mexico – La
Matataxista (The Taxi driver killer”) a 35-year-old mother of five children
(ages ranging from 5 to 15) hated men, she said. She felt neglected by
men and so she got even. That’s why she led a gang – comprised of men and boys
– which murdered and robbed five members
of the despised sex (including one who
was her lover). She murdered one woman as well.
Examining psychiatrists described her as antisocial in attitude, emotionally cold, insensitive to
pain, as show no remorse and having a marked tendency to sadism. During interviews, she asserted that
she was a victim of sexual abuse and claimed he was abused and raped. She
worked with several male accomplices but she was the leader.
She would lure her victims to an
abandoned reservoir in the Icamole area where she would shoot the drivers and
dump their corpses into the water. The gang would sell the purloined taxi in
Coahuila and split the proceeds.
La Matataxista was captured Jun. 6,
2010 by police in the town of Garcia after she wounded another taxi driver,
Manuel Neri Balderas (31), who managed to escape with only a slight knife wound
after La Matataxistas tried to slit his throat. It was the policy for Manuel to
take only females as fares, a safety measure which did him no good with the
likes of man-hater Cristina.
Charged with five charges of murder,
violent robbery, criminal conspiracy and violations of laws governing treatment
of the dead.
