In Mexico, suspected drug gang hitmen have shot dead the grieving mother, brother and sister of an elite Mexican marine who died last week after taking part in a raid that killed top drug lord, Arturo Beltran Leyva, one of the most wanted drug lords in Mexico and the United States. The marine, Melquisedet Angulo was lauded as a hero by the Mexican government, but this made his family an identifiable target. Hours after Angulo was honored at a memorial service on Monday, gunmen burst into the family’s home killing four of his relatives.
