State prosecutors in Mexico said two suspects are accused of killing four people while trying to find a cold wallet believed to hold millions of dollars in Bitcoin. The case is tied to a residence in Atizapán de Zaragoza, where authorities say the victims included Jonathan Meléndez, keyboardist for rock band Camilo Séptimo, his pregnant wife, their daughter and an employee. Prosecutors also said the family’s golden retriever was killed. According to Mexico State’s Attorney General’s Office, the two suspects, identified as Diego Sebastián and Gerardo, are scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, when a judge will decide whether there is enough evidence to move the criminal case forward. Mexico’s security minister Omar García Harfuch said one of the suspects was a business partner of the victim and allegedly used that connection to gain access to the home. If convicted, the pair could face prison terms ranging from 25 to 70 years per victim. Cointelegraph, citing CertiK and Chainalysis, said violent coercion attacks targeting crypto holders have continued to rise, with 52 such cases reported globally in the first half of 2026 and more than $30 million in stolen crypto linked to the incidents.
