The first case to shock Mexicans was that of Edgar N. Jiménez, who was arrested in 2010 at the age of 14 having been trained to kill and kidnap by the Pacífico Sur drug cartel. Jiménez, known as El Ponchis, confessed to four murders. "I've killed four people; I slit their throats. I felt bad doing it but they made me. If I didn't do it, they were going to kill me."
