I would figure Mexico as being more 'challeging' for travelers than England. Language, food and culture.

We don't know if the young men had any run-ins or problems with any other people or gangs in the area.

It is a sad story and all the more scary when you think about the crime itself.
People who profile murders categorize stabbings as 'personal type" of crimes. You have to be close to a person to stab them. That's pretty creepy because of the proximity of the people involved and what you have to do to stab someone 250 times.

Scary, really scary!
I was thinking along the same lines with this.

First, that Mexico would be such a different culture, compared to England (proximity to France and all).

Secondly, wondering whether they had any run ins with gangs or people who were trying to take advantage of the situation of them not being from the area.

The fact that stabbing is such a personal attack. While we do have the majority of crimes being gun violence in the states (we have a horrific gang problem in Allentown, Easton, and Bethlehem. Seems we get the little offshoots of the NYC gangs like Bloods, Crips and Latin Kings amongst other gangs, locating here), when you see violence against a relative, friend, spouse etc.. it's normally something with a knife and hands on, not a gun.


I was also wondering what the heck an e-fit was. Never heard of that before! Sounds like a new kind of car, lol.
