Mexico Ombudsman: Slain Student Was Brutally Tortured

A classmate of 43 college students who disappeared in 2014 had been tortured before his body was found the day after the others went missing, Mexico's National Human Rights Commission said Monday. A new autopsy determined 22-year-old Julio Cesar Mondragon suffered 64 fractures in 40 bones, mostly in his skull, face and spine, said Jose Trinidad Larrieta, who has led the commission's investigation in the case. But Larrieta added that Mondragon's face was not skinned by his captors as some people had alleged, saying animals were responsible. The student died prior to that of brain injuries, he said.
