The 43 college students who went missing in Mexico were shot to death and incinerated in a 14-hour bonfire before their remains were crushed and stuffed into plastic trash bags, according to the gruesome confessions of three members of a drug-trafficking gang.

The account came from members of the Guerreros Unidos criminal organization who were arrested last month, Mexico’s Attorney General said on Friday. Mexican authorities presume the students are dead, but Attorney General Jesus Murillo says latest findings are still “inconclusive.â€

 

“I want to be very clear that what we are revealing today is just an update on the investigation. This investigation has not concluded,†he said in a nationally broadcast press conference, which included brief video clips of the confessions.

 

Murillo said witness accounts lead him to believe the men’s confessions.

According to Murillo, the detained gang members confessed to taking the students to a trash dump near the city of Cocula after municipal policemen from the cities of Iguala and Cocula handed them over to Guerrero Unidos.

 

“We received a group of about 40 people,†a narco named Agustin Garcia said in the filmed confession shown to journalists on Friday. “Some of them were unconscious or already dead.â€

The students were allegedly taken to the trash dump aboard two trucks. Those who were still alive were then shot to death and burnt in a bonfire that lasted 14 hours.

 

“We made stone circles around the bodies, then put tires and logs on top of them,†said another detainee, who was not identified in the video.

The detainees confessed to crushing the charred bones of the students and putting them in plastic bags, which were recently found by Mexican police.

 

Murillo said that the human remains found in the bags were severely decomposed. He said he didn’t know how long it will take to identify the remains.

“We need to conduct all possible tests that will help us to identify the remains, before we can conclude that these are the students,†Murillo said.

 

The abduction and disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa students  has shed a light on human rights abuses in Mexico, where some 20,000 people are currently missing.

The case has sparked numerous protests against government corruption and narco-infiltrations over the past few weeks.

Facing angry protests in the biggest crisis of his administration, President Enrique Pena Nieto vowed to hunt down all those responsible for the "horrible crime."


 


 


If the testimonies are proven true, it would be one of the worst massacres in a drug war that has killed more than 80,000 people and left 22,000 others missing since 2006.


Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam warned that it would be difficult to identify the charred remains and that authorities will continue to consider the students as missing until DNA tests confirm the identities.


He added, however, that there was "a lot of evidence... that could indicate it was them."

"They didn't just burn the bodies with their clothes, they also burned the clothes of those who participated," the gang members spent over 12 hours torching the remains. "They tried to erase every possible trace."


AFP:


 


The bodies were set on fire down a hill from a Cocula garbage dump with gasoline, tires, firewood and plastic, in an inferno that lasted 14 hours, he said.


"The fire lasted from midnight to 2:00 pm the next day. The criminals could not handle the bodies until 5:00 pm due to the heat," he said.


The suspects then crushed the remains, stuffed them in bags and threw some in a river.


 


Murillo Karam showed videos of investigators combing through small pieces of charcoal-like remains that were found in black plastic bags. Some remains were found near the landfill.

But the parents, who distrust the government, said they would not accept that their children are dead until they get a final ruling from independent Argentine forensic experts who are taking part in the investigation.


 


"As long as there is no proof, our sons are alive," Felipe de la Cruz, a spokesman for the families, said at a news conference from the missing young men's teacher-training college near Chilpancingo.


 


Last month, two hitmen had already confessed to killing 17 of the students and dumping them in a mass grave near Iguala. But authorities said tests showed none of the 28 bodies found in the pit belonged to the students.


 


Murillo Karam said experts from an Austrian university would help identify the charred remains.


 


Authorities have now detained 74 people, including several Guerreros Unidos members, 36 Iguala and Cocula police officers and Iguala's ousted mayor Jose Luis Abarca and his wife Maria de los Angeles Pineda.

The mayoral couple were detained in a gritty Mexico City district on Tuesday after more than a month on the run.


 


Authorities say Abarca ordered the officers to confront the students over fears they would derail a speech by his wife, who headed the local child protection agency.


 


The missing young men said they went to Iguala to raise funds, though they hijacked four buses to move around, a common practice among students from the radical teachers college.

The fact that the richest man in the world is from Mexico kinda makes me question the legitimacy of his business 

Some of the reasons why he's so rich is because he's put so many monopolies together (which is legal in mexico unlike some other places). He also owns a phone company that is owned by the majority of the country to the point of almost being another monopoly. Idk the other reasons tho.

 

Just the fact that he's from Mexico shouldn't be a reason why you question a person. These kind of things happen everywhere.

Ignorant. Go back to school.

Lol, it's not his race that has me apprehensive against Carlos Slim. Not to mention Mexico isn't a developed country, human trafficking is rampant and their is corruption everywhere.

While it may be legal is Mexico, I wouldn't want to label it "legit"

Most people won't understand

This is a country were the majority of the people are hard working, and don't get what they receive for that

And the ones who don't do a shit for their country have the better salary (the president, politicians..)

It breaks my heart to see this because those are the kind of people who really take care of their land, yet they were just killed like nothing.

It's just unfair

Last time i checked, it was not legal. Article 28 of the Constitution. Eventhough i don't understand all the legal stuff, it says monopolies are forbidden.

He found a way to have a monopoly, be it by illegal means or legal loopholes(?), probably both.

There's corruption in Mexico, and ignorant people(caused by the corruption), i think it wasn't hard for him to take advantage.

There is corruption in Mexico, like there is corruption in your country, and in every single country in the world.

What you see on the news about the drug dealers and the mafias is just a small part of what's going on in Mexico. Not everything in there is dangerous, or illegal, or crazy as the media makes it look. I mean, isn't it obvious that what you see on the news is 85% bad news 15% good news??

They will always show you the bad shit that is going on in different countries. They rarely show you the good things because no one cares. Because is not something to worry about. You only hear about the bad things that are happening in Mexico, but never hear about the good things; the good news. So you're obviously gonna have a fucked up imagine of the country.

 

So yeah, you're still pretty ignorant because you only believe what you hear without actually having been there and experiencing it first hand.

It's like stupid people who think PS in Korea is normal and that everyone has PS. No, it's not true. No, it's still not normal. The majority of the population have not had plastic surgery.

 

It's like, you guys shouldn't open your mouths if you don't know what's going on. It's makes you look ignorant (and sometimes racist).

I did in the past.

 

Well, i don't know how long ago you did, but i know these days it's been getting maybe as crazy as the news make it seem.

 

Of course, there are a lot of great things in Mexico, hard working and honest people, great brains, etc, but the narcotraffic and corruption here are a huge reality.

 

I don't know how it is in other contries...

 

mmm, i also don't know where i'm going with this, except saying, yeah, it's all fucked up :/
