An Uber driver in Mexico has confessed to the kidnapping and murder of a seven-year-old girl who had disappeared last Wednesday and was found dumped in a ditch Saturday in southern Mexico.

The discovery of the little girl's body came days after her parents appeared in a viral video begging for their daughter's safe return.

Juan Manuel Villalobos, 25, figured he could throw off local authorities in the city of Chihuahua when he voluntarily presented himself at a local prosecutor's office which handles femicide and gender crimes hours after committing the crime.

The accused suspect claimed he had been forced by two men that had ordered a car service from the popular ride share application before his deceitful story imploded, leading to his arrest.

Villalobos has been charged with human trafficking, homicide, forced disappearance and child pornography, and could spend up to 100 years in jail.

According to his original testimony, the gunmen supposedly demanded Villalobos stop in front of Seyni Camila Cobos Medina's home, before they got out of the vehicle and supposedly forced the defenseless child inside the car, according to police reports obtained by El Heraldo de Chihuahua.

Javier Corral, governor of the state of Chihuahua, said authorities discovered a gross video an arrested suspect sexually abusing Seyni Camila Cobos Medina before he murdered her

A white 2016 Ford Fiesta driven by Villalobos, which was registered under his wife's name and filed with UBER, was impounded after the suspect approached authorities.

However, investigators were able to break the case open when they were able to recover a grotesque video of Villalobos sexually assaulting little Seyni Camila which had been deleted from the phone along with other vile images of minors.

During a court hearing Sunday, it was revealed Villalobos used a shoe lace to choke the child to death.

Villalobos said one of the passengers placed a gun to his body, according to La Opcion.

After kidnapping the girl, he drove her to the side of road where he said he made the girl touch her intimate areas and forced her to perform oral sex on him.

He claimed that as a child he had been sexually abused by two people and he decided to do so with the young girl.

The seven-year-old was reported missing after her mother Gloria Cobos saw the car driven by Villalobos speed off near the family's home.

According to Cobos, Seyni Camila was trying lend her unemployed mother a helping hand, asking strangers for spare money

Cobos, 33, who at the time was bathing one of her seven children, rushed to the street when she heard her daughter's loud screams as her child was forcefully thrown into a car, which she claimed contained four men aboard as it then sped off.
