Baku-APA. Six police officers have been arrested in connection with the killing of a mayor kidnapped in the violent north of Mexico last week, APA reports citing smh.com.au website.
The officers, including one who acted as bodyguard to Edelmiro Cavazos, the slain mayor of the town of Santiago, were paid off by a drug gang, the regional Governor and the prosecutor, Rodrigo Medina and Alejandro Garza, said on Friday.
Mr Cavazos, who was known for his tough stance against organised crime, was forced from his home by armed men wearing out-of-date federal police uniforms. No ransom was demanded. His bound and gagged body was found on Wednesday.
