| Subject: Ancaps blame the drug laws: Acapulco tourists killed 'by mistake' Thu Nov 25, 2010 2:37 am | |
| A suspected drugs baron has revealed that 20 tourists kidnapped and murdered in Acapulco were the victims of mistaken identity, Mexican police say.
The suspect, arrested on Tuesday, said a faction of his gang mistook the Mexican tourists for members of a rival cartel, according to police.
The tourists disappeared in September, and 18 bodies were later found in a mass grave.
The suspect, Carlos Montemayor, was arrested in Mexico City on Tuesday.
He is accused of being the successor to alleged drugs lord Edgar Valdez - known as "Barbie" - who was detained in August.
Known as "El Charro", Mr Montemayor is Mr Valdez's father-in-law.
Both men are alleged to have been members of the powerful Beltran Leyva cartel, which splintered into warring factions after Mexican marines killed cartel boss Arturo Beltran Leyva in a gun battle in December 2009.
