Mexican officials arrested five people in connection to the recent kidnapping and murder of Americans near the U.S.–Mexico border, according to the attorney general for the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
In a statement on Twitter on March 10, Tamaulipas Attorney General Irving Barrios Mojica confirmed the arrests of five suspects “linked” to the March 3 incident in the border city of Matamoros “for the crimes of aggravated kidnapping and intentional simple homicide.” Another person who was recently arrested was linked to the kidnappings and murders, he wrote.
