Mayor's murder probe leads to mass grave

The investigation into the murder of a mayor in central Mexico has led police to a clandestine grave containing five other bodies, authorities said on Tuesday.

The burial spot was found in the community of Alpuyeca following the killing of Temixco Mayor Gisela Mota, who was murdered on Saturday, just one day after taking office.

"As a result of this regrettable event in Temixco, an investigative process was triggered that led us to make another discovery," said Matias Quiroz Medina, a senior Morelos state government official.
