But maybe not so unexplainable.
Tonight we have perspectives from both sides of that embittered family, the daughter-in-law of the murder victim who says it's all the result of land dispute, and the sister and mother of the accused who say that the Uncle was a quarrelsome person.
Anna Gallego, Daughter in Law of Victim
"My father-in-law had been drinking. I won't deny that he'd been drinking but that wasn't a reason for them to kill him in that way. They could have hit him if they wanted but for them to kill him like that so brutally it's not fair."
"They went and looked for him in his brother-in-law's mother-in-law's house, he was there because one of the daughter-in-law's told them to leave and that they weren't going to come here and make noise. What did they do?"
"They waited for him to come. For him to come and then they grabbed him there in the darkness when they thought that no one would see."
Reporter:
"And do you all think that they planned it?"
Anna Gallego, Daughter in Law of Victim
"It was planned, It was planned because the girl Natalia was there on the lookout."
Kieranie Teyul, Sister of the Accused
"We don't know exactly what took place because we weren't present in the accident that happened and really, Eugenio Teyul had always come making noise, throwing phrases and this has been going on for years. My brothers in their right senses are different and when they're under the influence they are different, no one knows what happened, what took place, they are the only ones that know. And up until today, we don't know where they have gone even though people are saying that we are covering for them or doing something. We have always just wanted to re-establish communication with them and really I don't know what happened. The only thing I know is that they came and made noise and that is what we know. And for the people who are saying that it's a family thing that they're part of us. I don't have anything on them and if they want to drink the way they were drinking, and we all know what my Uncle EugenioTeyul is like, always looking for a fight. They weren't the first people that day with whom he's picked a fight."
Mother of the Accused
"The three of them were drinking, all three, I'm not going to swear for my sons, the three of them were drinking."
Reporter:
"But they say that even before there were problems between them?"
Mother of the Accused
"From Friday he started to egg them on and I said to my sons keep calm, keep calm because I'm a single mother I never egg on my sons to do anything. My brother-in-law offended us a while back. They should know how their father is. I won't swear for my children and I won't swear for him. The three of them had been drinking. They are the only ones who know how the fight started because I didn't see it. I won't swear for my children and I don't know where they are."
Mexican police are on the lookout for Shamir and Enrique Teyul.
