A 14-year-old Hispanic U.S. citizen has been jailed for three years after telling authorities that he beheaded four people whose bodies were hung from a bridge

Edgar Jimenez Lugo, known as El Ponchis (The Cloaked One), was given the maximum sentence allowed for a minor in Morelos, Mexico. The U.S. Hispanic teenager worked for the Beltran Leyva brothers' cartel and killed four people whose bodies were hung in Cuernavaca, authorities said. A judge gave Lugo the maximum sentence for a minor for organized crime, homicide, kidnapping, and drug and weapons possession. He was born in San Diego, California, and was arrested as he tried to board a plane in Cuernavaca to Tijuana with his sisters. One of his sisters, aged 16, was also involved in the crime gang. She disposed of her brother's victims by dumping the bodies on streets and freeways, officials said. El Ponchis was paid $3,000 for each murder he committed.
