A mayor and four local police officers have been arrested in a western
Mexican state in connection with the murder of 10 people who were killed
and burned over the weekend, the state's governor said Tuesday.
Michoacan Gov. Silvano Aureoles said in an interview with Imagen Radio
Tuesday that authorities initially thought the bodies found in a pickup
near a gas pipeline in Cuitzeo had been somehow related to illegal
pipeline taps.
However, Aureoles said that the investigation eventually revealed that
police from the town of Alvaro Obregon had detained the victims.
Speaking with Milenio television, Aureoles said that interviews "point
directly to the mayor who gave the order." Without naming the mayor, he
said he and four police officers had been transported to prison.
