Tagged: attorney, border, Ciudad Juarez, policePosted on: December 6th, 2007
Authorities in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez said Wednesday that they plan to exhume the remains of more than 4,000 unidentified people buried in common graves and take DNA samples in an attempt to identify them.
Rene Medrano, a spokesman for the Chihuahua state attorney general’s office, said the bodies were being exhumed because state attorney general Patricia Gonzalez “wants to bring order and clarity to past police practices.”
Officials did not provide more exact reasons for the exhumations, which they called part of a statewide project that includes at least 180 exhumations in another city.”*
