墨西哥四人遇害案，嫌疑人涉嫌抢夺存有数百万美元比特币的冷钱包

The Attorney General's Office of the State of Mexico (FGJEM) stated that two suspects are accused of killing four people in connection with the search for a cold wallet believed to hold Bitcoin worth millions of dollars. The two are scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, where a judge will determine whether there is sufficient evidence to proceed with criminal proceedings.

The surnames of the suspects, Diego Sebastián and Gerardo, have not been disclosed. Prosecutors allege the two killed Jonathan Meléndez, keyboardist for the rock band Camilo Séptimo, his pregnant wife, their daughter, and an employee at a residence in the city of Atizapán de Zaragoza. The family's golden retriever was also killed.

Mexico's Secretary of Security, Omar García Harfuch, stated that one of the suspects was a business partner of the victim and allegedly used that relationship to gain access to the residence. If convicted, the two could face between 25 and 70 years in prison for each victim.
