Mexican officials have made the first high-level arrest in relation to the notorious 2014 disappearance of 43 students.
Former Mexican attorney-general Jesus Murillo has been arrested over the disappearance of 43 students in 2014.Mexican officials have made the first high-level arrest in relation to the notorious 2014 disappearance of 43 students, accusing a former top prosecutor over one of the country's worst human rights abuses.
During Mr Murillo's 2012-2015 term under then-president Enrique Pena Nieto, he oversaw the highly criticised investigation into the September 26, 2014, disappearance of the students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College. Current President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador took office in 2018 vowing to clear up what had happened.
"What happened? A forced disappearance of the boys that night by government authorities and criminal groups," Mr Encinas told a news conference. According to that version, a local drug gang mistook the students for members of a rival group, killed them, incinerated their bodies in a dump and tipped the remains into a river.
