Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico - On Sunday, a woman vigilante sent an e-mail to various local media and claimed that she killed several bus drivers last week. She signed the e-mail as Diana and admitted to killing bus drivers Roberto Flores Carrera, 45, on Wednesday at 7:45 a.m. and Freddy Zárate, 45, on Thursday at 8:25 a.m. Carrera was driving bus number 718 and Zárate bus number 744. 

The bodies were found in the buses last week, according to Juárez investigators. She also wrote that women working at the factory called la maquiladoras were being sexually violated in the early hours of the morning after they ride the bus home.

The city of Juárez is known for the hundreds of murdered women found at isolated areas. Between 1993 to 2013, more than 700 girls and women ages 14 and older have been kidnapped, raped, tortured,  murdered, dismembered and then dumped at rural areas.

In the e-mail, she wrote that for too long women have been targeted, raped and murdered.

More bus drivers will be targeted to take vengeance for what they have done to other women. Police say, she steps up on the bus and pulls out a handgun and then fatally shoots the bus driver. 

More Juárez police have been assigned to ride buses in an attempt to locate the vigilante.
