Source: BBC World
Two men suspected of killing Malcolm Shabazz, the grandson of US political activist Malcolm X, have been remanded in custody in Mexico.
David Hernandez Cruz and Manuel Alejandro Perez de Jesus were waiters at a Mexico City nightclub where Mr Shabazz was beaten to death on 8 May.
A formal order was made for their custody on charges of robbery and aggravated homicide, officials said.
Malcolm Shabazz was the son of one of Malcolm X's six daughters, Qubilah.
An immigration activist travelling with Mr Shabazz said they had been invited to a bar by a woman, while on a trip to press for greater rights for Mexican construction workers in the United States.
After the bar owner demanded they pay $1,200 (£780) for drinks and female companionship, a fight broke out, the activist said.
Prosecutors say he had been punched, kicked and beaten with a stick or a bat.
