show moreDuring the attack, six police officers were kidnapped, tortured, and subsequently killed, adding to the severity of the incident. Authorities stated that forensic experts were deployed to collect evidence and conduct investigations. Despite the large-scale violence, no prior threats had been reported against the local officials in Coyuca de Benítez.
Guerrero is one of Mexico's most violent states, largely due to turf wars between rival drug cartels. The region is a significant producer of opium poppies and marijuana, contributing to the ongoing conflict. The attack in Guerrero reflects the broader issue of cartel-related violence that has plagued Mexico for years. Since the Mexican government deployed the military in its war on drugs in 2006, over 420,000 people have been murdered, and more than 110,000 have disappeared, most of whom were victims of criminal organizations.
In this episode, we take a look back at the Guerrero massacre.
