Authorities in the state of Chihuahua have announced the release of José Luis 'N', the owner of the Plenitud crematorium in Ciudad Juárez, where at least 383 deceased individuals were found. On February 12, Judge Luis Eduardo Rivas Martínez granted José Luis an amparo against the legal process that had been initiated against him seven months prior, which led to the cancellation of those charges during a court hearing last night.

This legal development comes after shocking discoveries were made at the Plenitud crematorium last June, when authorities uncovered 386 embalmed bodies stored under unsanitary conditions, alongside rodents. The gruesome scene prompted widespread media coverage and public outrage, leading to José Luis 'N' being detained. However, following the amparo granted by the judge, he was released from the Cereso 3 prison early today.

The implications of this case are significant for public health and safety in the region, as well as for the legal proceedings surrounding the mishandling of human remains. The case has raised questions about the oversight of crematoriums and the treatment of deceased individuals in Mexico, reflecting broader societal issues related to crime and accountability. As the situation continues to unfold, the authorities may face increased pressure to enhance regulations and monitoring of such facilities.
