Investigators have found a bone fragment belonging to one of 43 students who disappeared in Mexico in September 2014, prosecutors said on Tuesday, only the second set of remains to be definitively identified in a case that roiled the country.
The abduction and apparent massacre of 43 student teachers from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers’ College became a symbol of Mexico’s chronic failure to tackle gang violence and corruption.
Prosecutors announced the discovery of the bone remnant of Christian Alfonso Rodriguez Telumbre, who was 19 when he disappeared, as they again questioned central parts of the previous official story. “This is a new era that breaks with the false narrative which shut down more possibilities to search and to find,” Gomez told reporters. “More than five years after the incident, human remains belonging to one of the victims have been identified.”
