- Outcry after three women and six children killed in 2019 attack
Mexican security forces have arrested a local drug cartel boss implicated in the Nov 2019 murder of nine women and children from an isolated Mormon community, raising hopes among victims’ relatives it might lead to an explanation for the attack.
Even in a country long used to violence, the 4 November massacre of three women and six children as they travelled a lonely road through the Sierra Madre Mountains shocked many Mexicans – not least because there seemed no explanation for the bloodshed.
