Another eight mass graves found in Iguala

The organization "Los Otros Desaparecidos" (The Other Disappeared), which was formed more than a year ago to search for missing relatives in clandestine mass graves, located eight possible burials in the neighborhood of Tijerillas, north of Iguala, and found a carcass in one of them.

Mario Vergara, who is looking for a brother who disappeared three years ago, explained that some 30 families began on October 2014 a search by the hills west of Iguala, where the Office of the Attorney General (PGR) believed that the 43 missing Ayotzinapa students are buried.

The group had received anonymous information on clandestine burial sites and although they ceased their search since June due to the rainy season, since November they have located 104 bodies in mass graves, with another one found just this Sunday.

The group will decide if they continue their search or resume it until December.

Tijerillas is located near the community of El Naranjo, north of Iguala, where the 43 students from Ayotzinapa disappeared in September last year and other six people have been murdered, among them three teachers in training.
