Mexican Journalists Brutally Murdered



Marcela Yarce & Rocío González Trápaga
(Mexico City, Mexico) Joggers in a neighborhood park found the bodies of two female journalists brutally murdered Wednesday.

The identities of Ana Maria Marcela Yarce Viveros and Rocio Gonzalez Trapaga were confirmed Thursday.

"The bodies of the women were found completely naked hidden under a plastic sheet and the preliminary investigations of the homicide department indicate that it may be the result of an assault," said Contralinea (magazine), adding the two bodies showed signs of being beaten.

Yarce is the founder of a weekly magazine that specializes in investigative journalism while Gonzalez Trapaga is a freelance reporter who used to work for the main national television station Televisa.

No suspects have been named since virtually every crime in contemporary Mexico can be attributed to the drug cartels.
