Jose Luis Abarca, who was previously mayor of
Iguala, and his wife Maria de los Angeles Pineda have been arrested
after suspecting they had a link in the massacre of 43 students who went
missing in September, in Mexixo.
Attorney General Jesus Murillo, the legal
practitioner handling the matter said yesterday that three detainees
have revealed that they set fire to the group – some of whom were still
alive – at a rubbish dump near Iguala in the state of Guerrero, close to
where the students actually went missing.
More investigations also revealed that the
former mayor and his wife who have been on the run before their arrest
on Monday actually ordered that the students be killed.
According to reports, Pineda demanded that police
arrest the students when they threatened to ruin a party she was
having, and once the police had the students they were then handed over
to the gang members who then murdered them. Prior to this the police also opened fire on the group, killing several before the bodies were burned.
What’s worse, the students had no intention of
disrupting Pineda’s speech, but were merely travelling through the town
on buses they’d hired to take them to Mexico City for a remembrance service in honor of students massacred there in 1968.
There has been and continues to be a massive outcry across Mexico to see that justice is served for this mass murder. So sad.
