On June 23, we learned of the unfortunate murder of the Mexican singer Yrma Lydya at the hands of her husband and alleged feminicide, Jesús Hernández Alcocer, 79 years old, who is currently in jail awaiting his legal process. A few days ago, the lawyer granted an interview to Mario A. Salgado Becil inside the prison, where he spoke about his version of events.
Hernández Alcocer assured that many things he knew about the singer turned out to be false, such as his age, relatives and it could be that even his name. In addition, he claimed to have been the one who asked for her divorce, because “he was no longer comfortable with her escapades and her arbitrariness and everything she stole from me and took from the house.”
Hernández Alcocer said that his intention is not to convince public opinion of his innocence or to victimize himself, but to discover who the person he was married to was. In addition, he stated that for him, Lydya was not a victim as the media has portrayed her, on the contrary, he assured that she threatened, attacked, defrauded, deceived, exploited, stole and used, destabilizing her mind and life.
What man of being a man hits a woman? She hit me; I have no strength in my hands, neither in my arms nor in my legs since they operated on my spine. They inserted cervical discs, first they put plastic ones to remove the infection and then they put titanium ones.
In his experience, the best way to live in prison is to forget and imagine that the outside world does not exist because those are confusing and dark days for him. Even so, he can’t help but get annoyed by the sensationalism of the media, who speak “without foundation”, based only on one version, as if his did not exist.
Asked about his previous marriages, which also resulted in suspicious deaths, he said:
You see? Those are the lies circulating in the media. Only one of them has died of illness in Williams Sport City, Pennsylvania, this many years after they divorced.
He did not want to give any statement about the night of the murder, since his lawyers do not allow him to speak on the subject, but he assures that he did not try to escape, that he was simply shocked. In addition, he asks that they be patient with him, since it is something that he needs a lot right now.
