Mexican Mayor killed

Mexico: The mayor of Tancitaro, a small town in the central Mexican state Michoacan, was found hacked to death, the State Attorney’s Office told Mexican broadcaster Milenio.

Gustavo Sanchez was found dead alongside Rafael Equihua, his adviser on agricultural matters.

They were left in the back seat of a Ford Lobo truck, with hands tied and cut repeatedly in the face. Sanchez’s death comes just four days after gunmen killed Prisciliano Rodriguez Salinas, Mayor in Doctor Gonzalez, a small town in the northern Mexican state Nuevo Leon.
