MEXICO – A new investigation is underway into the disappearance of 43 trainee teachers in Guerrero state in 2014.

The 43 students from a teacher training college in the town of Ayotzinapa in Guerrero state disappeared on Sept. 26, 2014 after attending a protest in the nearby Iguala town.     

During the clash, five people – two of them students – were shot dead. The body of a third student was found mutilated near the scene of the clash the next morning.

The case and the subsequent bungled investigation caused outrage in the country.(BBC)
