RATS bit a four-month-old baby to death after her teenage mum left her at home to go out dancing.
The rodents chewed off part of the infant’s face and fingers at a rundown house in Acolman, Mexico.
Her mum, 18-year-old Lizbeth Jeronima Fuentes Munguia, alerted neighbours after returning home in the early hours of Tuesday morning and finding the little girl lifeless in her cot.
Moments later her mum was arrested and taken away by police to give a statement.
Local reports said the baby’s unnamed grandmother, who had been left in charge of the youngster, had also been held.
Neighbours said single mum Lizbeth had left the house two hours earlier so she could go to a party in the nearby municipality of Otumba.
Her whereabouts today were unclear.
