Veracruz, Mexico: Mexican Journalist Killed; Mass Grave Discovered

HeadlineMar 21, 2017

Mexican journalist Ricardo Monlui Cabrera has been murdered in the Mexican state of Veracruz. He was the editorial director of the newspaper El Político and the president of the local journalists’ association in the city of Córdoba. He’s the second journalist to be murdered this month, after Cecilio Pineda was killed in the Mexican state of Guerrero. On the same day as Monlui’s murder, a mass grave containing nearly 50 corpses was discovered in Veracruz—only days after another mass grave of more than 250 corpses was discovered in the same state.
