The world of Mexican midget wrestling was rocked to its tiny foundations last month week, when a pair of pint-sized, twin performers were murdered -- apparently by poison-wielding hookers they met in a sleazy bar.
Alberto and Alejandro Jimenez -- who were known in the ring as "La Parkita" and "El Espectrito Jr." -- appear to have been slipped deadly mickeys at a low-rent Mexico City hotel lounge with the hired women, who later robbed them, authorities said.
Police had first said they were looking for two hookers, who are understood to have poisoned the pair before robbing them.
But investigators now want to speak to two local drag queens. They released the above composite sketch of the two alleged killers.
They believe they may have assumed their male identities and gone into hiding.
A hotel worker discovered the bodies of the wrestlers laying in the beds. It's believed the wrestler overdosed after taking a dose of eye drops combined with alcohol.
In Mexico, it is a common crime for gangs of prostitutes to rob their clients after they pass out from ingesting tainted drinks.
Authorities revealed the brothers did not have any trace of physical violence and that their belongings were missing from the scene.
Midget wrestling, known as lucha mini in Mexico, is a hugely popular entertainment. The Jimenez brothers were among the biggest stars for much of their 17-year careers.
PS: Sorry for the use of the m-word, but that is what's it called down there in Mexico.
