Carried away to be raped and murdered...after being sold by her mother for £10 of crack cocaine: Tragic last moments of three-year-old girl who suffered the ultimate betrayal
By Rachael Bunyan14:45 BST 27 Apr 2023 , updated 16:37 BST 27 Apr 2023When three-year-old Luz Maida was woken up in the middle of the night by her mother and thrust into the arms of a strange man, she could not understand what was happening.
And the truth is almost too horrifying to comprehend, as the little girl had just been sold by her mother to her drug dealer boyfriend in return for £10 worth of crack cocaine.
Chilling CCTV footage shows Luz being carried away in the early hours of Friday morning in Pedro Juan Caballero, Paraguay, by the boyfriend of her mother Aurelia Salinas, 42, before she was raped and murdered.
Just over 24 hours later, Luz's bloodied body was found by horrified neighbours inside an abandoned house.
Luz, who was often seen wearing a blue dress with Frozen characters printed on it, was betrayed by her mother for 30 pieces of crack cocaine.

Both Salinas and her boyfriend were arrested, along with a 17-year-old who is allegedly also involved.
According to police, Salinas was under the influence of drugs and seemed unconcerned while police searched for the girl.
More than 300 locals attended Luz's funeral and some neighbours later burned down the house where her body had been found.
Investigators said the family had a 'history of tragedies', and Salinas has seven other children, including a 12-year-old girl she allegedly allowed to be sexually abused by a 30-year-old man.
