Mexican Govt 'Probe' On 43 Mexican Students' Massacre Deeply Flawed, Study

A new report by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) on Sunday, which included prominent investigators from Chile, Colombia, Guatamela and Spain, has reportedly revealed glaring errors in the government's findings regarding the case of 43 students who went missing last year.

Some deep flaws have been discovered in the Mexico government's handling. The release of the report on Sunday revealed the facts. It rejects the government's 'finding' that the 43 students were burnt in a garbage dump.

The students, mostly still in the first year of college, had disappeared from Iguala city in southwest Mexico on September 26, 2014.

The case brought about an outrage in the whole world.

The government had stated that students had been abducted by corrupt cops by "mistake". They had been cahoots with a local drug gang, the "Guerreros Unidos" (United Warriors). The government said that the cops handed the 43 students to the gang, who then took them to a local garbage dump, reports MSN News.

However, the IACHR report picked a lot of holes in the government document. They found no evidence in the garbage dump.

"There is no evidence that supports the hypothesis based on testimony that 43 bodies were cremated in the municipal dump of Cocula on Sept. 27, 2014," the report said. The gang did not have the resources for it, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Just one lone bone fragment located from the dump, belonging to one of the 43 students shows that it had not been burned at a high temperature, which contravenes the government's claims.

This has brought down the popularity of President Enrique Peña Nieto. Mexican officials have decided to review the investigation, according to hngn.
