**Accused of Attempted Feminicide Appears in Court with Special Suit Due to Tuberculosis Concerns**
A man accused of attempted feminicide recently appeared before a judge in Mexicali under unusual circumstances. The defendant, who is suspected of having tuberculosis, was required to wear a special protective suit during the court session to minimize any health risks. This case has attracted considerable attention due to the nature of the charges and the health concerns involved.
The accused, identified as Efrén, also known as ‘El Cuate,’ was brought to court to face accusations made by Katerin, a vendor he allegedly attacked while she was working at her hot dog stand in the Hidalgo neighborhood. According to the State General Prosecutor’s Office, the attack stemmed from a personal conflict between Efrén and Katerin.
Despite the defense claiming Efrén’s innocence and pointing out his regular church attendance, the judge decided to link him to the process, ordering him to remain in preventive custody. The trial is set to commence in the coming months.
For the judicial proceedings, it was necessary for Efrén to be physically present, which necessitated the special protective attire due to concerns about potential tuberculosis symptoms he exhibited.
