The latest ludicrous offering by Mexican government is slammed by test results
So far, the Institute of Legal Medicine at the University of Innsbruck (IMG) has not identified genetic profiles in the samples of the skeletal remains extracted in the dump of Cocula, ground zero in the official government story of where 43 missing normalistas were taken and incinerated.
In a report, the Innsbruck institute indicated that a samples of human hair collected in the dump, was applied to mitochondrial DNA matching, but does not correspond to any of the families of the missing students.
The content of the document which released through a newsletter the Attorney General's Office (PGR), also refers to the results of 53 samples of clothes and hair that were found on buses occupied by the students when they were attacked in Iguala.
PGR says nine bone and hair samples from the dump of Cocula and two bone samples from the San Juan River, was sent for analysis in December.
Of these the laboratory determined that some were of human origin and others of animal origin, the human samples were not a match to the families.
The PGR spokesman says hair samples were collected at the dump in a metal container, which the agency contends the 43 were incinerated along “with trash”.
The PGR reported that the results were in a sealed envelope, opened in the presence of the deputy of Human Rights, Crime Prevention and Community Services, Eber Betanzos Omar Torres; the general coordinator of Expert Services of the PGR, Sara Monica Medina; and members of IMCI, Carlos Beristain and Claudia Paz y Paz, and the prosecutor of the federation, Edgar Nieves Osornio, at the headquarters of the PGR.
On behalf of the parents of normalistas, lawyers of Human Rights Cente,r Miguel Agustin Juarez, Mario Patron and Santiago Aguirre, and Argentine experts Mercedes Doretti and Miguel Nieva.
The EPN administration finds itself in a quandary….after using all the tools in their corruption tool chest, the story of the normalistas remains alive and continues to generate international interest. The game playing has not been successful, as no one believes the spin attempted by the government.
It appears they are over trying.
After the failure of the latest forensic studies, Osorio Chong informed the IACHR/GIEI (Ayotzinapa experts) to pack their bags and be out of the country by April 30th.
After the results were ruled out as being connected to the normalistas, the government made no mention of plans to identify who the remains belongs to.
