On Thursday, February 27, 2014 La politica published a piece
titled, With recent murders in Jocotepec and Ajijic, Chapala may no longer be“safe”.
Now, just over two months later, an elderly American has
been killed in Chapala. This means that in the first four months of 2014 four
foreigners have been killed in three incidents.
Chapala's finest |
This most recent murder reportedly occurred on Friday, April 20. Raymond Margolis
Levi, 90 (some reports say 88), later died after two men broke into his home, only a few blocks from city
hall. The elderly man was beaten about the head, as was his wife, a teacher in
a local primary school, in what appeared to be an attempted robbery.
