5 Mexican Students Mu**red By Cartel Video All five Mexican students were aged ranged between 19 and 22. Rep**rtedly, they all were friends and students who were duct-taped, sta***ed, beaten, and k*ll*d after meeting the Mexican dr**ug cartel in the hope of getting employment as private security, met a contact in town and were not seen again until the video leaked on the internet.
El Universal journalist Carlos Arrieta said the men decided into a meeting with the CJNG cartel (Jalisco Nueva Generacion). The journalist further added that the dr***ug cartel lured them to recruit into their ranks but killed them when they refused. Have the victims been identified?
The footage shows the rundown property covered in graffiti, including a message that reads ‘a slaughtering is the best medicine’ written on a wall in black paint.
A screen grab from a video of the kidnapped students shows Roberto Olmeda, 20; Diego Lara, 20; Uriel Galván, 19; Dante Cedillo, 22; and Jaime MartÃnez, 21, kneeling next to each other in front of a brick wall with the Grupo Elite Delictivo de Reacción Inmediata logo painted over it.
The video, which aired on Mexican newscasts after it was leaked Tuesday, shows one of the students attacking a friend before decapitating him.
None of the body parts found in the home and recovered from a burned vehicle belonging to Olmeda found on a road on Tuesday have been identified.
Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said during his daily press briefing Friday that the students were ‘possibly murdered’ and that more information would be released next week.
