Yrma Lydya, the 21-year-old singer who was gunned down by her 79-year-old lawyer husband, had been trying to divorce him for two months before he killed her inside a Mexico City restaurant.
Lydya was dining at Suntory, a Japanese restaurant in the Mexican capital’s neighborhood of Benito Juárez, when Jesús Hernández shot her inside a private room last Thursday.
Hernández and his bodyguard, Benjamin Hernández, were taken into custody at the restaurant as they attempted to flee.
Jesús Hernández reportedly tried to bribe arresting police officers into letting him go.
