Mexico: Bodies In Mass Graves Are Not Students

The bodies of 28 people found in a set of mass graves are not those of students who went missing last month, Mexican authorities have said.

The graves were unearthed outside the town of Iguala in the southern state of Guerrero.

At a news conference, Mexico's Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said: "I can tell you that in the first mass graves we found, for the very first ones we already have results, and I can confirm that there are no matches to the DNA that the families of the missing people gave us."  

Experts are still testing remains recovered from other mass burial sites found near the city but no further information has been revealed.

The 43 student teachers disappeared after a confrontation with police, who are suspected of being involved in their disappearance.

Local authorities say the police were working with a local drug gang.

Benjamin Mondragon, or "Benjamon" the alleged leader of the drug gang, Guerreros Unidos, killed himself during a gunfight with Mexican security forces on Tuesday, the head of national security revealed.

"We hoped to make this person, Benjamin Mondragon, surrender. But he showed up, said something aloud and shot himself in the head," Monte Alejandro Rubido told reporters.

Meanwhile, 14 more people have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of the students.

Those arrested had "confessed to their participation, claiming they received the students and later delivered them, in between the limits of the cities of Iguala and Cocula, to the criminal gang that operates in the area, which calls itself 'Guerreros Unidos'", a top police chief revealed.

The drugs gang allegedly had ties to the family of the mayor of Iguala.
