The article says that an American woman, named Elena, who was recently widowed about eight months ago, was murdered by intruders at her home at 1426
de la calle Peña, Playas de Tijuana, about 12:30AM this morning. The intruders tied up the man she was living with and then beat and choked her.JESSE - 11-23-2009 at 02:51 PM
Its near my house in Playas. My brother tells me she wasn't american, she was from Finland, and apparently her boyfriend was involved in the drug
trade.Bajahowodd - 11-23-2009 at 03:26 PM

If I was a mexican official- that is the first version of any crime I would throw out there: "Victim not American and drugs involved". So how come
they killed the wrong person or not both? A simple strangulation isn't the narco's "signature work"JESSE - 11-23-2009 at 04:04 PM
Strangulation is in fact, the favorite method of killing by cartels. You just don't hear much about those killings because they are not as flashy as
using several AK47's in broad daylight.
Anyway, her boyfriend apparently was there during the crime and did not get killed, so hes suspect number one in my book.David K - 11-23-2009 at 04:20 PM

How nice. Does the world of tourism know this?
Seems the "cartel" is everywhere.

Woman killed in Tijuana home invasion
By UNION-TRIBUNE
Monday, November 23, 2009 at 6:12 p.m.
TIJUANA – A 54-year-old Finnish citizen was killed late Sunday in the Playas de Tijuana section of the city in what appears to be a home invasion
robbery, the Baja California Attorney General’s Office reported.
Kaija Helena Kauppinen Conway was found dead on the second floor of the residence after the attack, with signs on her body indicating she had been
beaten, the report said.
The woman’s companion, a U.S. citizen, told investigators that he and the victim were home when two assailants dressed in black and wearing hoods
broke into the residence, according to a police source who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to give information to the media.
The robbers bound the man’s feet and hands with adhesive tape and demanded to know where the money was located, the source said.
Once the robbers had gone and he was able to free himself, the man said he found Conway dead in the other room, where she had been bound.
At the house, investigators found an identification card indicating Conway was also a legal permanent U.S. resident.
The man is not considered a suspect and is cooperating with authorities.JESSE - 11-25-2009 at 02:27 PM
The boyfriends just confessed he killed her.

WTF- the PGJE posts on YouTube now? How's that for getting their message out without needing the "biased and inflamatory" traditional media...

He mentioned he killed her because she made him clean dog poo and do the laundry. HHHMMMM.
Is he going to kill his mexican cell mates or clean their poo? And to think he was trying to improve his life... good luck scumbag!

"He told authorities she had humiliated him, demanding he clean the carpets, wash her clothes..."
I'm surprised they didn't let him walk.tinamtenorio - 10-7-2010 at 08:38 AM
You are a complete flocking buttcrack! She was my best friend!
How can you say Justifiable?
I loved her, and this, through people like you is how I have to hear about her!
Do you feel that way because you are capable of the same?

Welcome. Sorry about your friend. It was almost a year ago. Many in real life and on this board tend to blame the victim first- and then dispute the
facts when and if they do come out. It's a protection mechanism some expats use so they can sleep soundly at night and feel safer- don't take it
personally. You'll post a dozen times defending yourself and your friend and you'll feel no better after it is all done.

Did I fall face-first into a troll-pit again? Not dung... I've been doing a lot of solar work with that blue PVC glue and then Rust Bullet paint. I
like fumes better than foil. I was never good at origami.
