Suspected gang members in Mexico have confessed to killing more than 40 missing students and incinerating their remains in a case that has shocked the country, the country’s attorney general has said.
For weeks, authorities have been searching for the students since police attacked their buses in the southern city of Iguala in late September, allegedly working under the orders of former mayor José Luis Abarca and his wife, María de los Ángeles Pineda.
The three Guerreros Unidos gang members, named by Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam as Patricio Landa, Jhonatan Gomez and Agustin Reyes, said the students were killed after they were handed over to them.
The suspects, who confessed while being questioned by police, said they burnt the bodies before crushing the remains of the victims and stuffing them into bags and tossing them in a river.
Mexico’s government is still waiting for DNA confirmation to establish the identity of those killed, which Mr Karam warned should prove difficult.
