“The mayor of a city in southern Mexico has been murdered less than a week after taking office, authorities said Sunday, the latest in a series of attacks on politicians in the violence-plagued Latin American country. … Local media reported that Arcos was decapitated, but there has been no official confirmation. Arcos was elected in June representing an opposition coalition that included the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which denounced his killing as a ‘cowardly crime’ and called for justice.” (10/07/24)
