A survivor of the apparent massacre of dozens of students in Mexico has told of his narrow escape from the gang of corrupt police officers and drug cartel hit men who ambushed them.
State prosecutors believe more than 40 students who went missing last month after a violent clash with officers on the outskirts of Iguala were rounded up, killed and thrown in mass graves.
One of those who escaped said the students were travelling in buses which they had seized for a protest when they were blocked by a police car.

The 19-year-old, who wants to be known as Eusebio for fear of reprisals, said the officers then opened fire as the students got off the buses, killing at least one and injuring several others.
'The shooting carried on for a long time, he told Global Post

'More police arrived and were firing at us. I lay down in the back of the bus.'

Then, after ambulances and journalists appeared at the scene, he said more officers arrived with gunmen in plain clothes, later identified by prosecutors as members of a ruthless gang of assassins who work for the Beltran Leyvan Cartel.
As more shots rang out, some officers began bundling the students into the back of patrol cars, at first giving the impression they were rescuing them.

But Eusebio said: 'They were hitting the students as they took them. People were also scared about being shot so they gave themselves up.
'They thought they would just be arrested. But something else awaited them.'

Hunt: A forensic investigator works at the site of the mass graves, near Iguala in Mexico



Sensing things were seriously amiss, Eusebio ran to safety - and later found out that his intuitions had saved his life.
When the students reassembled back in at his University in Tixtla, there were 43 missing and it is now believed they were executed after the ambush.

Guerrero's attorney general, Inaky Blanco, said on Sunday that 28 bodies have been found at burial sites so far, and it is 'probable' that some of the missing students are among the remains found.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto vowed on Monday to hunt down those responsible for the apparent massacre that authorities say involved local security officials.
He said the motive of the killings was unclear.
Other local officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that at least 34 bodies have been discovered.

In his first comments on the incident, Peña Nieto said the federal government would identify those behind the massacre and make sure they face justice.
'We need to find the truth and make sure the law is applied to those responsible for these outrageous, painful and unacceptable acts,' he said in a four-minute-long televised statement.
He did not take questions.

Blanco said on Sunday that two gang hitmen have admitted killing 17 of the missing students with the help of security officials.

The likelihood of official involvement creates a major headache for Peña Nieto, who has sought to shift attention away from Mexico's gangland violence and onto a batch of economic reforms he has driven through Congress.
Angel Aguirre, the governor of Guerrero state, said he was certain the students were killed by gangs in cahoots with the police.

He added that he expected at least some of the bodies in the mass grave would be those of the students, but said tests still needed to be completed to make sure.
'It could well be them, I don't rule it out, it's a very real possibility,'

Aguirre, who has been criticized for not doing enough to clean up the state and keep a lid on the rampant violence, said in a radio interview.

Some 22 local police have been arrested in connection with the violent incidents in Guerrero.
The fugitive mayor of Iguala, Jose Luis Abarca, is also being investigated for possible involvement in the crimes, as is the head of security for Iguala.
Blanco said the leader of a local gang known as the Guerreros Unidos conspired with security officials to carry out the killings.

Peña Nieto took office two years ago pledging to end a wave of violence that has killed around 100,000 people since the start of 2007.
Though homicides have fallen on his watch, other crimes have increased, including extortion and kidnapping.

Guerrero, which is also home to the resort of Acapulco, has been one of the most lawless states in Mexico for years.

Mexico Missing Students: Former Top Official Arrested Over Probe

Mexicos' Former Attorney General Has Been Arrested in Connection With The Disappearance of 43 Students in 2014.

Jesus Murillo Karam led a controversial investigation into the disappearance of the 43 students as Mexico's attorney general (pictured in 2015)




Jesús Murillo Karam, who led an inquiry into the atrocity, has been charged with forced disappearance, torture and the obstruction of justice.

The students vanished while travelling by bus through the city of Iguala on their way to a protest in Mexico City.

Other than bone fragments recovered from three of them, nothing is known of their fate.

Municipal police opened fire on buses carrying the students on the evening of 26 September 2014 - but what happened next is disputed.

Their mysterious disappearance sent shockwaves around the world and triggered widespread protests in Mexico against impunity and state complicity in organised crime.

Jesus Murillo Karam, who was arrested on Friday, led a controversial 2015 investigation into what happened to the students that blamed members of a cartel who were accused of killing them and burning their remains.

His findings, which were endorsed by then President Enrique Peña Nieto, were criticised by independent experts and relatives of the missing students for errors and for not apportioning any blame to the armed forces.

In a tweet, Mr Karam's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which is no longer in power, accused those behind Friday's arrest of being politically motivated.

He is the highest-profile government official to be arrested in connection with the disappearance of the students so far.

Investigators believe the students were detained by corrupt police officials and then handed over to a drug cartel who mistook them for members of a rival gang before killing them.

On Thursday, a truth commission established by current President Andrés Manuel López Obrador accused soldiers of bearing some responsibility for the massacre - at least through negligence, if not directly.

"Their actions, omissions or participation allowed the disappearance and execution of the students," said Alejandro Encinas, who is the commission's head as well as Mexico's deputy interior minister, according to AFP news agency.

But the full role of military personnel required further investigation, he added.

Earlier this year President López Obrador revealed that navy members were being investigated for allegedly tampering with evidence, including at the garbage dump where human remains were found.

On Friday, he called for any soldiers or officials involved in the disappearance to face justice.

"Publicising this atrocious, inhuman situation and at the same time punishing those responsible helps to prevent these deplorable events ever happening again," the Mexican leader said, according to AFP news agency.
