The murder of five people in the Colonia Narvarte, Mexico City, has a new version of events in the reconstruction of what occurred.
The head of the Attorney General of the Federal District (PGJDF), Rodolfo Rios said that there is "evidence" that the crime occurred in an apartment in less than an hour, not three as previously reported.
"We have evidence that the alleged perpetrators came minutes after two in the afternoon."
"They left a little after three in the afternoon. That is, they were not in the apartment for three hours but about an hour, "said the prosecutor in the interview with Televisa.
Four women and a man-the photojournalist Ruben Espinosa were killed late on July 31 in the Narvarte apartment.. The case has gained international attention, because at least two of the victims had reported threats to Veracruz authorities.

"In the interest of transparency, the office has been reporting information. Even on Sunday I gave information through the media, Tuesday, Wednesday, "Rios said when asked about the changes in versions.
"There is nothing hidden ie to prevent speculation," insisted the prosecutor. "However we cannot give many details because this could hinder as to the location of the alleged perpetrators."
