GRAPHIC — Mexican Mayor Kidnapped and Murdered amid Tribal Dispute
MORELIA, Michoacán – An apparent dispute between government officials and tribal leaders over the disbursement of funds in the state’s Purepecha region appears to be the motive behind the kidnapping and murder of a local mayor. The murder follows a long history of ties between cartels and tribal leaders in the region.
This week, a group of gunmen stormed the home of David Eduardo Otlica Aviles, the mayor of Nahuatzen, and took him at gunpoint in front of his family. Hours later, authorities discovered the politician’s body in the nearby town of Coeneo. Preliminary information provided to Breitbart News by the Attorney General’s Office in Michoacán revealed that Otlica’s body was bound with rope, showed signs of torture, and suffered numerous gunshots.
