43 normalista students missing since September 26, when a series of chaotic police attacks left six people dead in the city of Iguala, Guerrero.
Guerrero's chief prosecutor said Sunday that 17 of the victims found in mass graves near the site of the shootings are the remains of normalistas from the Ayotzinapa school, according to confessions reportedly made by a drug-dealer and a hitman detained in connection with the disappearances.
A total of 28 bodies have been found as of Monday morning, although authorities have yet to confirm the identities of the victims.
Local police officers allegedly in the pocket of a criminal gang known as the Guerreros Unidos are believed to be responsible for the shootings and disappearances of the students, Guerrero state prosecutor I?aky Blanco Cabrera said Sunday.
Two of the 22 police officers detained since last week in relation to the case told investigators that they were sent to stop two buses that had been temporarily hijacked by a group of Ayotzinapa normalista students. A Guerreros Unidos leader known as "El Chucky" allegedly gave the order to "finish off" the students that were captured in the operation.
Authorities were also searching a property owned by missing Iguala mayor Jos? Luis Abarca, who is wanted for questioning for his alleged links to the Guerreros Unidos. The mayor's wife is siblings with one of the cartel leaders, news reports said.
