University of British Columbia PhD student Ximena Osegueda was found on Jan. 6, strangled and stabbed on the beach in Huatulco, about 500 kilometres southeast of Mexico City.

The 39-year-old had been missing since Dec. 13, until her ex-husband found her with her hands tied behind her back and her throat slit. The motive for her death remains murky, although the beach on which she was found was a known dumping ground for local drug gangs.
