MEXICO CITY, March 11 (Reuters) - A 42-year-old woman running for mayor has been kidnapped and decapitated in a southwestern Mexican state where previous murders sparked the biggest crisis of President Enrique Peña Nieto's administration.
State prosecutors said on Wednesday the body of Aide Nava was found in northern Guerrero, where 43 trainee teachers were abducted and almost certainly massacred last year, sparking an international outcry over criminal violence in Mexico.
A spokesman for the prosecutors said Nava, a candidate from the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), was kidnapped on Tuesday in the town of Ahuacuotzingo, the municipality she hoped to become mayor of in June elections.
A note left next to her body was signed "Los Rojos", which is one of the main criminal groups in Guerrero.
The note threatened the same treatment for any politician who does not "fall in line."
