Mexican mayor Alejandro Arcos reportedly kill3d days after taking office
The mayor of a Mexican city has been murdered just days after taking office, officials have said, the latest in a series of attacks on politicians in the violence-plagued Latin American country. CNN is reporting.
Alejandro Arcos was sworn in last Monday as mayor of Chilpancingo, a southwestern city which is the capital of Guerrero state, where Acapulco is located.
Local media reports said Mr Arcos had been b3h3aded. Police have not confirmed any details of his d3ath, but were pictured at a scene in Chilpancingo where the body was reported to have been found. Reuters reported that photos circulating on WhatsApp showed a severed head on top of what appeared to be Arcos’ vehicle, but the news agency could not independently verify the photos’ authenticity.
“His loss mourns the entire Guerrero society and fills us with indignation,” Guerrero governor Evelyn Salgado said in a statement.
