Mexico arrests 6 suspects in killing of journalist
Updated 8:46 pm, Wednesday, March 28, 2018
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Six suspects have been arrested in the January killing of a journalist in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, Mexican prosecutors said Wednesday.
Meanwhile, two former police officers were sentenced in the 2015 killing of another reporter in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz.
. . .
"The results up to this time indicate a probable link between these events and the exercise of freedom of expression," the federal Attorney General's Office added in a statement.
. . .
Prosecutors did not explain why the suspects, who local media reported worked as independent journalists, would have wanted to kill Dominguez Rodriguez, or why the killing was so brutal. The victim was stabbed two dozen times in front of relatives.
