Joanna Abigail, Justice After Tragedy
Facing the Accused
After weeks of anticipation, court proceedings, and growing public outrage, the moment finally
came when Jesus Antonio, Tony, Saucida de Luna, appeared as the main suspect in the brutal
murder of his wife, Joanna Abigail Leagues Yoregi.
Though physically behind bars, Tony faced the court for the first time as the alleged
material author of one of the most shocking femicides in recent Nuevo Leon history. He was formally
notified of the arrest warrant against him and linked to the legal process for femicide and
family violence, a case that captured the attention of not only the local community but the
entire nation. A judge immediately imposed preventive detention as a precautionary measure,
ensuring Tony would remain in custody while the investigation continued. The court also established a
25-day deadline for the closure of the formal investigation into Joanna's murder,
marking the first step in what would become a long legal battle.
At the time of his court appearance, Tony was already in custody and facing charges for
drug-related offenses and illegal firearm possession, underscoring the fact that his
life had been spiraling into dangerous territory even before the fatal confrontation with
Joanna.
Theories and speculation
As the media and the community speculated about what could have led Tony to commit such a violent act, a variety of hypotheses emerged.
Friends, neighbors, and family tried to make sense of a man who had once been a childhood friend and later a loving husband.
The most widely circulated theory was that Tony had been under the influence of substances, which allegedly caused him to lose control during an argument with Joanna.
Close acquaintances painted a picture of a man struggling with unemployment and addiction, often
borrowing money from Joanna to support his vices.
According to authorities, the confrontation that led to Joanna's death might have begun
when Tony asked Joanna for money, which she refused.
This refusal, combined with his possible intoxication, allegedly triggered an explosive rage,
leading him to assault her.
Reports indicated that he not only beat her with force but also.
inflicted a puncture wound to her chest and may have attempted to strangle her. To ensure she
would not survive, Tony reportedly opened the household gas valves, exposing her to lethal fumes.
Other sources suggested the argument may have been linked to financial misconduct, with Joanna
allegedly confronting Tony about the unauthorized withdrawal of approximately 150,000 Mexican
pesos from her bank accounts, roughly equivalent to $7,000 U.S. dollars at the time.
Whatever the exact trigger, investigators concluded that the crime was calculated and deliberate,
and the violence demonstrated a chilling level of premeditation.
Timeline of the crime
Based on meticulous forensic analysis and detective work, authorities established that the murder occurred between 9 p.m. on Tuesday, August 30, 2022.
By the time Joanna's family discovered her body at around 7.30 p.m. on August 31st, 12 to 20 hours had elapsed since the crime was committed.
The timing highlights the tragic reality of how quickly a life can be taken and how devastating the aftermath can be for those left behind.
The formal investigation into Tony's actions and motives would extend for more than a year, as prosecutors, forensic specialists, and detectives compiled evidence,
interviewed witnesses, and prepared for a trial that would eventually capture national attention.
A long-awaited verdict.
Finally, after a painstaking legal process, the courts reached a decisive outcome.
In November 2023, Jesus Antonio Sucida de Luna, 27 years old, was convicted of
Femmicide for the brutal killing of his 24-year-old wife, Joanna Abigail Leagues Joregi.
The Nuevo Leon Collegiate Tribunal sentenced Tony to 45 years in prison, reflecting the severity of the crime and the premeditation involved.
Additionally, he was ordered to pay approximately $415,000 Mexican pesos, roughly $20,000 U.S. dollars, in fines covering legal penalties, funeral expenses, and compensation to Joanna's family.
The court also mandated that Tony undergo comprehensive psychological and medical treatment as part of his sentence,
highlighting the acknowledgement of his underlying issues, while ensuring that justice for the victim remained central.
At the time of the ruling, Tony remained in prison, serving his sentence while authorities and family members expressed a cautious sense of relief.
For them, the verdict represented a measure of justice, though it could never fully restore what was lost.
A Family's Bittersweet Victory
For Joanna's family, the court's decision was both vindication and heartbreak.
Justice had been served in a legal sense, but nothing could bring back the young teacher
