Jotham Posted Tuesday at 12:11 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:11 AM Quote MEXICO CITY, Oct 6 (Reuters) - The mayor of the capital of Mexico's violence-plagued state of Guerrero was killed on Sunday less than a week after he took office, the state's governor confirmed. Alejandro Arcos was killed just six days after he took office as mayor of the city of Chilpancingo, a city of around 280,000 people in southwestern Mexico. "His loss mourns the entire Guerrero society and fills us with indignation," Guerrero Governor Evelyn Salgado said in a statement shared on social media. Guerrero's state attorney general's office also said it was investigating his murder. The official confirmation came after photos circulated on messaging app WhatsApp depicting a severed head on top of a pick-up truck, appearing to be that of Arcos. Reuters could not independently verify the photos' authenticity. Arcos' death comes just three days after the new city government's secretary, Francisco Tapia, was shot to death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Posted Tuesday at 12:32 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:32 AM I'm not surprised. Remember what happened to the 27 year old, first time female mayor, of Ecuador? She was super young and was assassinated. These countries are beyond hope. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, it's always an awuful risk, and it happens in the whole country sadly, the recent elections had many politicians being k*ll3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
