A 20-year-old man has stabbed two women to death at a university in the western Mexico city of Guadalajara.
According to Luis Joaquin Mendez, prosecutor for Jalisco state, the incident occurred on Wednesday at the campus of Centro Universitario UTEG.
He said the man busted onto the campus carrying a knife and a hatchet, which he used to smash several windows, before stabbing the two women to death.
“There was no reason, no apparent motive,” for the attack, said the prosecutor, adding that the attacker’s “aggression was directed against the first people he saw.”
The assailant also wounded one other man during the attack.
Police have arrested the assailant and are also investigating his links to another woman who was found dead in a hotel on the same day.
At least 852 cases of femicide were recorded last year in the violence-plagued country, according to official figures.
