A decapitated body and a blood stained message were left on a busy Nuevo LAredo street around 5 A.M. Wednesday. The message warns peple not to use Social Media to report crime.
So far, officials are remaining silent about the murder and have not even released the victim's name. According to the message, the body belongs to a user of the "NUEVO LAREDO EN VIVO" website, who went by the screen name " THE FIDDLER." The brutal murder is sending shockwaves throughout the on-line community.
The first two social media murders happened back on September 13th when two bodies were left hanging on a bridge.
Twitter users from Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa, The Valley and other border communities issued a statement asking for protection. They say the Mexican Media is not reporting these crimes and that law enforcement officials are unable to control the violence.
The so called Twitter Manifesto asks for the government to solve these murders and protect their freedom of speech.
