What should have been a dream day for this bride ended in the back of a police car, as she was arrested at her own wedding and jailed for 11 years.
Nancy Lizeth Rodriguez Guadarrama wasn’t even allowed to cut her cake before she was nicked.
She was detained as she arrived at the church, and was hauled before the Public Prosecutor’s Office in her white wedding dress.
Her would-be husband, Clemente Mendiola Martinez, managed to escape from the church.
However, he was found dead in his car in Villa Guerrero, Mexico, surrounded by over 200 bullet casings.
Rodriguez was sentenced to 11 years and six months in prison for violent robbery after her arrest on December 3 last year.
Prosecutors successfully proved she was a member of the Familia Michoacana criminal organisation and took part in the violent March 2022 robbery.
According to the investigation, she stole money from a victim in Tenango del Valle with another woman and two male accomplices.
The victim filed a complaint with the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which led to Rodriguez being identified and investigated.
Her partner was named as a hitman for a cell of the Familia Michoacana. Since 2021, the authorities had been offering a reward of £13,034 for information leading to his capture.
Prior to his death, he was being investigated for extorting local chicken merchants in Toluca Valley as well as taking part in several kidnappings and homicides in the area.
