Mexico: Families of missing students demand proof after ‘mass murder confession’

Small bags of unidentified human remains could signal the end to the mystery of Mexico’s missing students. The government seems to think so, announcing the grim find and reporting that three suspected gang members have confessed to mass murder. But without firm evidence of identification, the families of the 43 trainee teachers won’t accept their loved ones are dead. Authorities say three suspects admitted killing and incinerating the students, saying they had been handed over to them by police. Unidentified remains were found at a river close to the southern town of Iguala where they disappeared six weeks ago. But the students’ relatives, critical of the investigation, want proof.
