Mexico Issues Warrant for Ex-Head of Investigations

Associated Press

   MEXICO CITY - A Mexican judge issued an arrest warrant for the former
   head of investigations for the Attorney General's Office for alleged
   violations in the investigation of the case of 43 college students who
   disappeared in 2014, officials said Wednesday.

   Tomas Zerón and five other former officials face charges including
   torture, forced disappearance and judicial misconduct. Three have been
   arrested and three, including Zerón, are still at large.

   Zerón oversaw the criminal investigation agency of the Attorney
   General's Office and also its forensic work in the case. The students'
   bodies have never been found, though a burned bone fragment matched one
   student.
