Eleodoro Carlos "El Cholo" Rodriguez Sanchez (Handout)
?The Ridgway toddler who was killed in a quiet Mexican fishing and surfing village Feb. 28 was beaten and sexually abused before he drowned in a swimming pool.
Newspapers in the Puerta Vallarta area are reporting that suspect Eleodoro Carlos "El Cholo" Rodriguez Sanchez has admitted to Mexican authorities that he abused 2-year-old Axel Charrette before throwing him into the pool at the Sayulita home where the child's family had been living for nearly two months.
Axel and his brother Kalden, 7, were in the care of babysitter Nancy Sara Lee Solorio P?rez, 19, on Feb. 28 when she let Rodriguez Sanchez, her former boyfriend, into the walled complex.
Vallarta Opina and the Guadalajara Reporter reported that

after he left the compound, she found Axel's body floating in the small swimming pool at the home.Doctors at the nearby San Francisco Hospital told state police that Axel's body showed signs of beating and sexual abuse, the newspapers reported.
In a statement given to The Watch newspaper in Telluride, Axel's parents, Randy and Jen Charrette, said the babysitter realized after she allowed Rodriguez Sanchez into the home that he was in a violent drug-induced state. The Charrettes wrote that she locked herself in a closet, leaving Axel outside and Kalden playing in another room.
"The boyfriend, for reasons unknown, hurt Axel, then threw him in the pool, leaving him to drown," the Charrettes wrote.
The Charrettes had been staying in Sayulita, a beach town called one of the safest places to stay in Mexico by Sunset Magazine, since Jan. 4.
They had sold many of their possessions and rented out their Ridgway home and planned to travel with their children.
In their blog about their trip, the Charrettes had written that they were happy to find their rental in Sayulita was "a secure house with parking ... a huge fenced yard and a swimming pool."
They said they planned to stay there for three months and then to possibly travel further south into Mexico.
Officials with the Mexican General Consulates in Denver and in Puerta Vallarta could not be reached for comment Wednesday morning.
