   Police in Mexico have taken a man and a woman into custody   
   following the abduction and murder of a 7-year-old girl whose   
   body was found wrapped in a plastic bag, officials say.   
      
   The victim, identified by investigators as Fatima, was buried   
   Tuesday by grieving family members, friends and neighbors. She   
   was last seen alive leaving her school on Feb. 11 with a woman   
   who was not her mother, before being found dead over the weekend   
   in a rural area on the outskirts of Mexico’s capital.   
      
   "The alleged perpetrators of the femicide of the minor Fátima   
   were detained in a town in the State of Mexico with the support   
   of the National Guard," Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said   
   in a tweet late Wednesday, according to the BBC.   
      
   Sheinbaum earlier had said the two suspects are apparently a   
   couple and that witnesses told investigators the pair had   
   abandoned their rented home in a southern Mexico City   
   neighborhood on Saturday, the day before the girl’s body was   
   discovered.   
      
   Authorities then searched the house Tuesday night. They found   
   the shoes and sweater Fatima was wearing on the day of her   
   abduction, in addition to the female suspect’s clothes, the BBC   
   reports.   
      
   The outlet, citing the El Universal newspaper, said the pair   
   were tracked down Wednesday afternoon with the help of a drone.   
      
   The girl's mother, María Magdalena Antón, told Milenio   
   television on Thursday that the female suspect had once sought   
   shelter at her home “because she said her husband wanted to kill   
   her." The suspect later apparently returned to her husband.   
      
   The revelation may explain why Fatima went willingly with the   
   suspect -- because she knew her.   
      
   Mexico City's police chief, Omar Garcia, said Thursday the   
   female suspect and her husband are being held on charges they   
   tried to bribe police into letting them go. Authorities hope to   
   bring kidnapping or murder charges against them soon.   
      
   While authorities have not revealed the cause of death or any   
   abuse Fatima suffered before her death, Garcia did say police   
   found plastic zip ties that were apparently used to restrain the   
   girl at a house near where she was abducted on Mexico City's   
   south side.   
      
   Family members say the day Fatima disappeared, her mother was   
   about 15-20 minutes late to pick her up.   
      
   In Mexico City, grade school students often walk out of school   
   after classes to meet parents waiting on the sidewalks, but   
   there have been few controls to ensure someone is there to meet   
   them.   
      
   The girl’s grandfather and others have criticized the school for   
   turning Fatima out onto the street when classes were done for   
   the day and for not calling police to come get her when there   
   was no parent present.   
      
   Children who aren’t picked up are supposed to be taken to a   
   prosecutor’s facility in the central neighborhood of Doctores.   
   It can take an hour or more to get there from outlying   
   neighborhoods, especially when the sprawling capital’s notorious   
   traffic is at its peak.   
      
   With the death of Fatima, officials have said they plan to have   
   prosecutor’s offices around the city care for children who   
   aren’t picked up until their parents are able to claim them   
   closer to home.   
      
   Sheinbam said officials also plan to bolster protocols for   
   identifying people who pick kids up from school, accelerate   
   deployment of security cameras and have uniformed workers on   
   hand for security at drop-off and pick-up hours.
