''In a rare example of justice being done for victims of forced “disappearances” in Mexico, three Mexicans found guilty in the disappearance of Canadian snowbird Malcom Madsen more than four years ago will likely spend the rest of their lives in prison.
Madsen’s Mexican girlfriend of six years, Marcela Acosta Ramos, 48, her son Andrés Javier Romero Acosta, 30, and brother Martin Alejandro Acosta Ramos, 51, were each sentenced this week to 56 years and three months in a Mexican prison.
The sentence follows their conviction last week of the crime of “disappearance committed by individuals,” a charge employed when the fate of the missing person is unknown.''
“The length of the sentences clearly indicates how seriously the judges take this crime,” says Madsen’s daughter, Brooke Mullins, noting her father is just one of more than 100,000 people currently listed as “missing” in Mexico.''
