Wrestling midgets killed by 'fake prostitutes'

[Tuffty]

Post mortems are being carried out on La Parkita - or Little Death - who wore a skeleton costume in the ring and Espectrito Jr.

The twin brothers, real names Alberto and Alejandro Jimenez, reportedly had been entertaining two prostitutes on the night of their deaths.

Police said two women were seen leaving the men's hotel room shortly before the bodies were discovered by a cleaner.

Prosecutor Miguel Angel Mancera said gangs of female robbers are experienced at using drugs to knock men out and rob them but they may have used too strong a dose.

The wrestlers' small stature means they may have succumbed to the drugs more easily, although larger men have also died in similar crimes.

The bodies of the two men, both aged 35, were found at a hotel a short distance from the Arena Mexico wrestling venue in Mexico City.

Midget wrestling had a huge following in the 50s and 60s but its popularity has waned across the world.

But the sport is still enormously popular in Mexico and fans are said to be mourning its two most famous stars.
