Sumario:This article reconstructs the events in the lynching of a woman in Metepec, municipality of Ocuituco, in the state of Morelos, Mexico, by notes issued by local digital newspapers. The account of the event and the comments posted by users of the websites regarding the news are incorporated, and through critical discourse analysis, it is clarified how gender violence caused by stereotypes, prejudices and beliefs about the idealization of women and the prevailing impunity for the scheme of institutional justice come together. Finally, general intervention strategies are proposed to reduce cases of lynching. The results provide the knowledge of issues such as collective violence and gender and the analysis of legal issues in cases of lynching.
