Machete Attack and Tragic Cenote Discovery Shock Residents
A man was attacked with a machete in Cancun after a dispute over road repairs. The body of another man was found in a cenote in the same city. Despite these tragic events, Cancun and Chetumal have seen a decline in the perception of citizen insecurity due to new security policies.
In a shocking and violent altercation that has left a peaceful Cancun neighbourhood in turmoil, a local taco vendor was viciously attacked with a machete following a heated dispute over pothole repairs. The incident, which took place in the La Penca colony of Cancun, has sent shockwaves through the community, raising concerns about escalating violence and the desperate state of infrastructure in certain parts of the city.
The victim, identified as Pedro, a well-known taco maker originally from Yucatan, was savagely assaulted by a neighbor during what initially seemed to be a minor disagreement over road repairs. According to authorities, the row erupted when Pedro refused to contribute to the cost of filling potholes in the main road of the colony, a long-standing issue for the residents of the area.
