IGUALA DE LA INDEPENDENCIA, Mexico, (APP/AFP): Mexico will
analyze skeletal remains from an undetermined number of individuals that were found not far from where 43 Mexican students went missing nearly two years ago, officials said Thursday.
Investigators found bone fragments including skulls, shin bones,
jawbones and teeth of various people, as well as sandals and pieces of clothing, according to a statement from the prosecutor’s office in the impoverished southern state of Guerrero.
The remains were found late Tuesday in the small town of El Mirador
alongside a road linking the towns of Coacoyula and Apipilulco, they said.
News reports said the bone fragments appeared to be from at least
four people, and may have been burned. They were reportedly found after an anonymous tip-off.
The Mexican prosecutor’s office said Thursday evening the remains
will be examined to determine if they came from the missing students.
There was no immediate confirmation of any link with the missing male
students who were enrolled at a rural teachers’ college in Guerrero.
