Mexico Wrench Attack Leaves Family Dead in Bitcoin Heist

A horrific quadruple homicide in Mexico City's Atizapán de Zaragoza neighborhood has been linked to an alleged robbery targeting a hardware wallet containing approximately $1.5 million in Bitcoin.

The victims were Jonathan Samuel Meléndez Ochoa, a 38-year-old musician and co-founder of the Mexican rock band Camilo Séptimo, his 35-year-old wife Ana Paula Barragán, their three-year-old daughter, and 21-year-old Aleyda Romero, who worked as the family's housemaid.

The case is one of the most violent 'wrench attacks' on record, a term used to describe physical assaults aimed at extracting digital assets from their owners. Two suspects were arrested within hours: Diego Sebastián 'N', also identified in reports as Diego Sebastián Rosen, and his driver Gerardo 'N', who face charges of qualified homicide, pregnancy interruption, and animal cruelty.
