Mexican mayoral candidate murdered in Guerrero state
The body of a woman who was running for mayor of the southern Mexican city of Ahuacuotzingo has been found in northern Guerrero.
Guerrero Attorney General Miguel Angel Godinez said on Wednesday that the body of 42-year-old Aide Nava from the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) was found on Tuesday night in Ahuacuotzingo, one of the 81 municipalities of the state.
Godinez did not give any further details about the murder of the mayoral candidate, who had been gone missing since Monday. Her son was also kidnapped last year and is still missing.
Nava's husband, Francisco Quiñonez Ramirez, a former mayor of the municipality, was also shot dead in 2014.
Mexico's violence-plagued Guerrero is a key drug trafficking area, where the notorious Knights Templar drug cartel, terrorizing the state through murder, kidnappings and extortion, has its base.
