The illegal Venezuelan migrants accused of murdering a 12-year-old Houston girl lured her under a bridge, where they stripped her naked to the waist and assaulted her for two hours, disturbing new court documents allege.
Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, allegedly bound Jocelyn Nungaray’s hands behind her back during the brutal assault, then strangled her and dumped her body in a bayou, a Harris County court heard Monday.
Her feet were also bound and her back was covered in cuts, according to KPRC.
Pena Ramos crossed the southern border illegally at El Paso, Texas, on May 28, The Post first reported last week. He told agents he was going to live with his cousin in Houston and that he feared for his safety if he was sent back to Venezuela.
He was fitted with an ankle monitor that was set to track his location for 21 days, which he cut off two days after Jocelyn’s body was found, Homeland Security sources said.
Rangel Martinez entered the country at El Paso on March 14 and was also given an ankle monitor but had it removed in May after it was determined he had no known criminal history.
