Mexican Police Detain Key Suspect Over 43 Missing Students
MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) — According to the investigation, the students were abducted by police in the city of Iguala and handed over to a criminal gang in September 2014. Over a hundred people were arrested following the incident, including a former mayor of Iguala and numerous police officials.

"It is impossible that the criminals were able to burn 43 young people in this place," a report by the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team said.

According to the report, the dump in Cocula was the site of multiple fires at various times, but there is no evidence that the remains of at least 19 people found near there belong to the missing students.

It is the second report to reject the findings of the Mexican government on the case. In September 2015, Inter American Commission of Human Rights said in a report that an independent forensic investigation established that the students could not have been burned at the dump.
