Mexico special agents found dead after cartel kidnappingv
19 February 2018
Forensic experts in Mexico say human remains found last week are those of two special agents kidnapped by armed men earlier this month.
Octavio Martínez and Alfonso Hernández were members of Mexico's Criminal Investigation Agency, a unit created in 2013 to fight organised crime.
A week after their disappearance, they were shown in a video posted on YouTube surrounded by armed men.
They were forced to read a statement critical of their agency at gunpoint.
