Former mayor of Iguala, Jose Luis Abarca has been arrested along with his wife Maria de los Angeles Pineda, on suspicion of murder of 43 Mexican students who have been missing for weeks now.
Investigations revealed that the former mayor and his wife actually ordered for the students to be murdered. The couple have been on the run, and were eventually arrested last monday along with 70 other suspects.
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.
Attorney General Jesus Murillo said on Friday that three detainees 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 went missing.
Multiple local police officers have also been arrested and are believed to have played a role in rounding up the students so they could be killed.
What's worse, the students had no intention of disrupting Pineda's speech, but were merely travelling through the town on buses that were taking them to Mexico City for a remembrance service in honor of students massacred there in 1968.
