THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE AND SOME APD OFFICERS ARE BEING SUED OVER THE BRUTAL RAPE AND MURDER OF 10-YEAR OLD VICTORIA MARTENS LAST YEAR. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE GIRL’S MATERNAL GRANDPARENTS HAVE FILED SUIT, CLAIMING POLICE FAILED TO INVESTIGATE REPORTS OF CHILD ABUSE PRIOR TO VICTORIA’S DEATH.
THEY’RE ALSO ASKING THAT APD CHANGE ITS POLICY IN REGARD TO CHILD ABUSE CASES. THREE PEOPLE, INCLUDING VICTORIA’S MOTHER MICHELLE MARTENS, ARE CHARGED IN HER DEATH.
