Special to The Tribune
WESLACO, Texas - According to cops and witnesses here, they punched and kicked Farrah Lynn Villalobos until she stopped breathing. That was February 19th. Yesterday, the two brothers alleged to have been her merciless killers confessed to the crime. It is just the latest case of spousal abuse to play out in public along the Rio Grande Valley.
Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño told story-hungry reporters neighbors reported seeing the men pummel the woman outside for long minutes before she was dragged inside to be whipped some more. Emergency medical personnel found her shortly before 8 a.m. She was taken to Knapp Medical Center in Weslaco, where doctors put her on life support. Family members decided to pull the plug on her short, but violent life last Friday.
Little was known or said about what may have sparked the argument and subsequent bloody beating. Cases of spousal abuse are common in the RGV, however, with women usually bearing the brunt of horrible physical attacks from husbands or boyfriends, or both. Alcohol and adultery are given as the main reasons for such assaults, although some women complain that they risk a whipping when they confront their errant husbands about such things as unpaid child support and womanizing.

Rough story. Hard to see a woman beaten to death. But it happens here too often. Anyway it's good to see The Tribune back online.
A la carcel cabrones, see if you can beat anyone in the jail.
Welcome back, MR. Editor, hope you all had rest and relaxation time.
Beating a woman should get the death penalty. Si los veo los agarro a chingasos! they never take on guys. Cowards!
Pinches bullies, going to jail for lifetime, for beating a woman, is frankly uncalled for. Pu%^&*tos, in jail, se van ayar a su padre.
Una paliza para estos malcriados! I would pay to see these guys get their ases kicked. you know it.
Hey! good to see The Tribune is back. I check in with my coffee and I know it will be a good story. I agree with the others. these guys should be beaten themselves. Like by The Big Dawg. They are cowards. any man who beats a woman is a coward.
I wonder about the neighbors though. How could they just stand by and not call? Were the women too afraid to call? Did their husbands think it was not their business? I would like to think that someone would call if it was a dog being beaten like this and why couldn't just one person step outside and say, "Stop this". Maybe these two were the bullies of the neighborhood as well as the home but doesn't anybody step up anymore? These neighbors must know that the next time there is a home invasion, no one is going to call for them and the women in the neighborhood must know that no one values their lives. This is not civilization. I wish they could take a picture of this poor beaten woman around to all the neighbors and say, "You were a part of this. This is what happened while you hid in your houses and closed your eyes and covered your ears!! " Shame on us all. M
What if that was your sister? You'd kill those guys!
what's the penalty for killing your wife? Anyone know what these guys may get?
So long as beer is the biggest addiction in the valley men will drink and keep drinking. They get drunk and beat their wife. that's the story.
This bastards are going for life, well unless, they call it a crime of passion. 35 years no less.
Alacatraz, the picture of the Girl, looks like a police mug shot. Did this lady have a record?, She was 5 ft tall, that is one short lady. Well... the LRGV is full of short and overweight men and women.
Two guys for a 5 foot lady, seems kind of odd. They were probably high on drugs and booze.
That is a mug shot. she musta had trouble with the law herself. But maybe she did not deserve to be beaten to death. Horrible way to die.
Why did pedro need his brother to finish off his wife? Two guys against a woman? what did she do? Maybe the milkman has the answers.
Pedro is a bum. If he killed his wife witha million punches to the head and face he deserves to die himself. an eye for an eye, baby.
ANONS & Ralph:...Thanks for the kind words. Sometimes it's okay to drift-off for a few days. Re-sets your bearings. About this young woman who was beaten to death, well, we confess that we don't as yet have the full story of this horrible episode. There are a dozen questions hanging in the air, questions that may be answered during the trials of these two worthless miscreants... - Editor
Obvious she's been incarcerated in the past. Probably for the same reason that got her killed.
Rumors that she was unfaithful. who knows, but valley men won't stand for that. they will fool around with every woman they see, just don't it be his wife. I say valley women and wives should do as their husbands do. that is fair. These two locos are not human. They represent the worst in La Raza.
Son puros cabrones, los dos. Poor gal, no one deserves to die, whether they had problems with law, or not, at one time or another. May she rest in peace.
Cowards, you don;t beat animals to death, how could you beat, another human being.
You have seen your last days of sunshine.
I want to know. do any of you wish you could go three rounds with these guys. How much of a beating would they get. Son Nacos los dos sonsos. Hope they get their butts kicked in jail. Son un par de pendejos.
Her husband pedro looks like every pinche gordo comelon around here. It's good that he's in jail. One less panson to see in town.
Hey, is that video about what boracho? Anyone we know? Brownsville has the most drunks of any Valley town. they go to jail and then complain that candy inside is $1. Mensos.
The Tribune is classy, but I also like to read the comments. Some are a bit on the edge, but never ridiculous like you see in other Valley Blogs. We are darned lucky to have The Tribune. Thanks, Mr. Editor and welcome back!
I just hope that woman who was beaten to death has brothers. And do these two killers have sisters? You know where I'm headed with this.
Everybody's got a sister in the Valley. You kidding me? sooner or later it all comes around.
You got that right, bro. we all have womenn in our families. I'd bash in trheir freakin' faces.
McAllen is building Bass Pro shops in Harlingen? Wow!!! Harlingen can't win, man.
Look Harlingen, is a dud of a town, even at the coffee shop talks tend to get fraustrating at times. Because no one can find answers.
It is dead, over paid directors, and did anyone see Yerena, speaking on TV (5)? He better take some public speaking courses.
Man no wonder we are at where we are.
Mr. Editor, whatever happened to Klement, haven't seen any articles about him, or did Alcatraz do got rid of him.
Harlingen, is like a sleepy town, it has been napping for the last 25 years. And by the way it is still sleep.
I can't believe 72 anti-hispanic bill have been introduced for legislation in our Capital in Austin Texas.
I thought we were better than Az. Well I thought, we are not, or at the same level.
So the deceased wanted to change her pedrito, pinche low life, back to prison where you belong. I hope you get the death penalty.
Anon, Ricardo Klement has been writing. Look at a few of the earlier stories. Sometimes he writes with Nick Ryan.
Thanks, I like his stories, is he still driving the bmv??? I am in the process of buying one in Mca. Texas. Good looking cars.
I heard something and maybe read it here that Klement drives a Lexus. But you know about him being sued by the husband of a McAllen woman he was seeing don't you? Heard it was dropped, but Klement went underground for awhile. Who knows?
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T KNOW FARRAH SHE WAS ACTUALLY REALLY NICE I KNEW HER FOR MAYBE SIX MONTHS AND SHE DID NOT DESERVE WHAT HAPPEN TO HER... SHE WAS UNFORTUNATLY VERY IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN... HE HAD JUST RECENTLY GOT OUT OF JAIL AND SHE DID NOTHING BUT SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR HIM... NO SHE WAS NOT CHEATING ON HIM AND IDK ABOUT HR RECORD BUT SHE WAS JUST TO NICE AND TO COMMITED TO THIS JERK I'M SURE LIKE A BITCH HE'S GOING TO ASK FOR PROTECTED CUSTODY... RIP TO MRS FARRAH...
WHO EVER IS READING THIS,I NEW FARRAH FOR THE PAST YEARS. SHE WAS BEAT UP BY HER HUSBAND AND BRO-IN-LAW . SHE DIDN'T DESERVE TO DIE THIS WAY, SHE WAS SO IN LOVE WITH THIS BASTARD AND I WISH HIM AND HIS BROTHER TO DIE AND ROT IN JAIL. SHE WAS A HARD WORKIN PERSON AND FAITHFUL TO HIM AND SHE WAITED FOR HIM THOSE 4 YRS THAT HE WAS IN JAIL. AND FOR HIM JUST TO GET OUT AND KILL HER FOR MONEY FOR HIS FUCKIN STUPID DRUG HE WOULD DO. AND WHO EVER WANTS TO KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THIS IS THE TRUTH AND THIS WAS NOT A CRIME OF PASSION. I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THEM TWO STUPID JERKS, BUT I BELIEVE IN THE LORD THAT HIS GONNA GIVE THE LIFE SENTENCE THAT THEY BOTH DESERVE.
So I can't believe after so long I see this story again , I knew farrah and pete for a long time, she was a nice person and she waited for him all the times he ended up in jail, I think everyone knew even her family and friends how she was mistreated by him because this was not the first time , except everyone told her to stay away from him, but she was too inlove with him but love is blind I know cause I was in a position similar to hers for years. I still can't believe she ended up this way and if makes me think this could of also happen to me. She was a hard working person who tried to help him out in every way she could . But whenever someone is lost doing crack they don't care about anyone but that. He knew Farrah would take care of him , thats why he never left and she obsessed, or inlove with him. And no this was no case of her cheating, pete was a crackhead that needed money and everytime he needed some Farrah gave it to him to keep him there and happy , but she was getting tired of it . And she didn't wanna give him money , and that's the reason he would beat her when he did . How sad but true !!!!! I actually cried when I heard what had happen . I don't know what happen that night but im pertty sure that was the cause of this tragedy. And the brother I don't know what happen to him he was a good guy had a job went to the army, did no drugs , well except weed. But other than that he was totally not like pete. Quiet smart guy. But who knows maybe he started doing crack too. But I dought. I thinks theres a mistake or something about that. Like I said fights between Farrah Nd pete where too common . So getting involved and calling the cops or getting her ir telling her to leave him was worthless if she would end up going back to him. So noone ever got involved. I know cause I was the same way as her. And thats why I hope ppl learn from this, theres nothing like loving someone but realise when that person has no control , and u can't help. Noone can if he Dosent want the help stay away crack is a very powerful drug and this ppl do anything and everything to get there high there not right minded any more .. well like I said I knew Farrah she was someone who I knew. And unfortunately I lived a life somewhat like hers. I hope she r.i.p she is in a better place. And I can't imagen know that pete is sober and thinking right reality has hit him . And I don't feel bad for him at all knowing the drug problem he had. We all decide the path we want to leave , and dealing with a crackhead is not easy . Trust me I know. Well enough said . Farrah wherever u are I hope ur happy and in peace. U where a good person but ended up with a wrong guy. And I hope a lot of ppl learn from this tragedy!!!
