Forty-Three Missing Student Sparks Fury, Body Parts Found

This murder situation is gruesome, one of its kind forensic specialists from Argentina and Austria have been examining body parts found in mass graves and a rubbish dump in south-western Mexico.

The remains are reported to be those of Alexander Mora.

Fellow student Omar Garcia, who was with Mr Mora's father when he learned the fate of his son, said: "He will never give up.

"He will never get over his pain, but what he wants to tell all of you, and what we all want to say is this: We want justice." 

The trainee teachers went missing on September 26 after clashes with police in the southern city of Iguala, that claimed the lives of six people.

The attorney general has said they were attacked by officers on the orders of the city's mayor Jose Luis Abarca, who has since been arrested. 

Prosecutors say the 43 students were then handed over by corrupt police to a drug gang, that killed them and burnt their bodies.

Three suspected gang members have confessed to carrying out the massacre.

Investigators have recovered only small fragments of bones to identify the victims.

The disappearance of the students at the hands of a corrupt public official, and the slow response of the federal authorities to the outrage has sparked a furious backlash cross Mexico.

Tens of thousands have taken to the streets in protest, with some calling for President Enrique Pena Nieto to resign. 

The case has come to signify the abuse of authority and corruption which is rife in Mexican society.
