A Mexican federal lawmaker was killed and burned after being abducted in broad daylight, authorities confirmed Wednesday, shocking his ruling party amid government assurances that violence is down.
Deputy Gabriel Gomez Michel was driving to the airport in the western state of Jalisco on Monday when a clutch of cars intercepted his sport-utility vehicle, authorities said.
The 49-year-old former pediatrician's body was found early Tuesday in the neighboring state of Zacatecas inside the charred remains of his SUV, alongside the burned corpse of his assistant.

Security cameras captured the abduction, showing cars flanking the lawmaker's SUV as a man in a red shirt points at his window on the road outside Guadalajara. His wife had called the authorities to report his disappearance.
