MEXICO CITY, October 24 (RIA Novosti) - Mexican priest Alejandro Solalinde has informed the Attorney General of Mexico Jesus Murillo that the 43 missing students were killed or burned alive.
"They were injured, and because they were injured, they have burned them alive," the priest, 69, who runs a shelter for illegal migrants in the Mexican State of Oaxaca, told RIA Novosti Thursday.
Solalinde said, 43 students abducted by the police and drug cartels were killed, according to the witnesses' testimonies.
The information, shared by Solalinde, came from four witnesses, including a person related to the municipal police of Iguala, who revealed that the students were taken to a rural area of the Mexican State of Guerrero.
The students, from the Ayotzinapa Teacher Training College, went missing on September 27, last seen being forced into police vans. This happened after police opened fire on the students, who were using hijacked buses, killing six.
The Mexican government has offered a reward of $75,000 for any information leading to the students' whereabouts.
Anti-government rallies have been held in several Mexican cities since the students' disappearance.
