HeadlineMar 15, 2018

In Mexico, the attorney general says police have arrested the fourth of seven suspects in the disappearance of 43 students at the Ayotzinapa teacher training college in 2014. Authorities say 35-year-old Erick Uriel Sandoval Rodríguez was a hitman for a criminal cartel involved in the disappearances. The students went missing on September 26, 2014, after being attacked by local police. International experts say the Mexican military and federal police also played a role in the students’ disappearance.
