‘El Congo’ cellphones corner the presumed assassins of Carlos Manzo; contacts and details will be revealed

The investigation into the homicide of Carlos Manzo has reached a crucial phase following the arrest of a suspect known as ‘El Congo’, whose seized cellphones may provide significant evidence.

The investigation into the murder of Carlos Manzo has intensified with the recent apprehension of a suspect identified as ‘El Congo’. Authorities captured several mobile phones during his detention, which are now pivotal in forensic analysis. These devices may contain critical data that could lead to new insights into the crime, including contacts related to criminal activities.

Uruapan's mayor, Grecia Quiroz, who is also the widow of Manzo, stated that the seized phones held various SIM cards.
