BC woman killed in Mexico in 'suspected femicide'

A 26-year-old Canadian man has been detained in Mexico in the suspected femicide of a woman who has been identified by family members as Kiara Agnew of Dawson Creek, B.C.

Agnew was with her boyfriend on what was supposed to be a dream trip to Mexico when her family said the Mayan Riviera vacation turned into a nightmare just days shy of her 24th birthday.

Hours earlier, Agnew and her boyfriend had arrived in Playa del Carmen, where the couple had planned to go sailing, snorkelling, and visit the Mayan Ruins.

The next day, Agnew’s family in Canada was notified of her death.

If it was her boyfriend, than it is a disservice to imply Mexico has something to do with it.

In 2011, I lost a friend to femicide and my friends think a cartels or some one killed her!?

[shermangriffin]

Femicide???? Like murder doesn't work. We have to emphasize it was a female (killed by man or woman). What is next Blackicide? Everything these days has to separate everyone.

That's crazy. Throw the book at him. Sick, sick man. Condolences to all who are morning her. Especially her family.

We are still waiting for justice for Shanquella!!

[lwfozzy]

In one swoop you destroyed all pity and sympathy for her and other female victims.

[scottyoung]

Did you know that women can be just as abusive as men?

[amberfoxc]

'Consular officials are providing consular assistance to the families and are in contact with local authorities, " spokesperson Marilyne Guèvremont said in a statement to CBC News.

Where was this coverage and support for Shanquella Robinson?

[Michaelengelmann]

Omg. She was my age! 😢 and I’ve never heard of “femicide” why would a guy kill women simply for being a woman?

[sergeikhripun]

Femicide? Did you create a new word again?

[TuneinTurnonGrowup]

Homicide...It's homicide, no need to make up new words to describe the murder of an individual.

Is there a new term for if a man is killed by a woman? Like Himicide?

Nope.

[jonesy]

this kind of like walking into the Lion's den, why would anyone go to this despicable lawless country ?

[UndividedNetwork]

Love the woke title ... and now let's change human to "peoplekindsapien" ... how pathetic humans have become.

[David-qkum]

Femicide ??? they inventing words now. ? is it not Homicide. Femicide lol

[gregkillam]

Surprised they’re not blaming Putin or Russia.

[znhtmft]

It's almost like Mexico is not quite a stable place to visit, given the violence and drug gangs.

South America is not safe to go period. People in that country are leaving but we are going there. Use some common sense!
