The bodies found in four mass graves located yesterday near Iguala, Guerrero, correspond to the normalistas missing since Friday, September 26.A detainee gave authorities the information on where to search.

Sources close to the investigation confirmed this afternoon to Sinembargo that there is sufficient evidence to believe the bodies are of the missing student teachers, but the authorities prefer to wait for the DNA tests to fully confirm it.

The sources preferred to wait for state and federal authorities to announce it on their own terms. This could happen in the following hours. The sources did not announce the conditions under which the bodies were found.

The Attorney General of Guerrero, Blanco Iñaki Cabrera, confirmed the location of the graves as they searched for the student teachers that are officially still missing. The four mass graves were found Friday in the town of Iguala, Guerrero.

In the Iguala colonias of Parota, Pueblo Viejo and Jardines del Sol, elements of State Civil Protection, Federal Police and State Police are working. So far it is not known how many bodies are in the graves, so we can not confirm that they contain all the 43 missing normalistas.

Friday night, September 26, three students from the Normal Ayotzinapa were killed and at least 43 were reported missing after being arrested and taken into city police cars. At first there was talk of 57 missing students. However, in past days it was confirmed that 14 students were located.  Leaving 43 unaccounted for. But that is the governments tally, the student group says it is 38. 

The discrepancy exemplifies the government is not working with the parents and student group.

The Guerrero Attorney General of Justice (PGJ) has identified the suspects in the killing of six students of Ayotzinapa , that transpired on September 26 in Iguala.

In press conference, Guerrero Attorney Iñaki Blanco Cabrera, announced that today the names of the alleged perpetrators will be announced.

At the same time, the Governor Ángel Aguirre Rivero, reported that he will request to the local Congress, a trial to remove immunity for the Mayor of Iguala, José Luis Abarca (PRD), for his alleged responsibility in the disappearance of 43 students of Ayotzinapa and the violent events in which six people were killed and 17 more were injured.

The Mayor is accused of homicide, injuries and abuse of authority, arising from acts of violence reported last weekend, in which six people died.
That operation, he said, involves elements of the army, Navy and Federal Police, State and 1,800 bureaucrats who joined this Thursday, October 2.

He also indicated that he will request an order of apprehension against the Secretary of local public security, Felipe Flores.

However, both officials are fugitives from justice.

While looking for additional information I found that in 2014 at least 3 other fosas have been discovered in Iguala in previous mass killings, each grave containing  8-15 bodies.

Up until yesterday  the PGR has refused to become involved, citing "it is a local matter".
