General Attorney of Justice in Sinaloa, Marco Antonio Higuera Gómez, confirmed that the member of Banda El Recodo, Aldo Sarabia was killed by his wife and her lover. Additionally, Higuera Gómez stated that Sarabia’s wife, Alma Delia Chávez Guerrero and Yahir Alfredo Sandoval met only four months ago and immediately started an affair. Investigations indicate the murder was premeditated and meticulously planned by the two, only days after Alma Delia had given her husband a warm welcome when he came back from touring with the band.
Apparently, Sarabia and his wife were on their way to a seafood restaurant, when they stopped the car and Yahir Sandoval got out of the trunk, held the musician at gunpoint and after a beating, shot him fatally in the neck, then dumped the body on the way to the community of El Recodo. Making Chávez the intellectual author and Sandoval the executer of the murder.
On the other hand, when the musician was reported missing, Alma Delia Chávez and her lover went back and buried the body. When investigations began, Sarabia’s wife didn’t seem to be able to keep her story straight and after several irregularities in her declaration, Chávez folded under the pressure and it was her who finally took her children and the authorities back to the crime scene.
If both are found guilty of murdering Aldo Sarabia, Alma Delia could be facing from 30 to 50 years in prison and, her lover, Yahir Sandoval, who had a criminal record for theft, could face from 22 to 50 years behind bars.
