NOTE: There is a discrepancy on the number of victims. Breitbart reports there were 9, while a Mexican news publication states there were “at least” 8 victims, 4 males and 4 females. Other reports explain there were 9 students, but one managed to escape and survived.
From Breitbart: Authorities in Mexico have remained tight-lipped about the reason behind the kidnapping, torture, and dismemberment of nine students who were traveling through Mexico to a beach town in southern Mexico. The mass killing comes as the Trump Administration imposed a series of tariffs on Mexico as a punitive measure for the “intolerable relationship” between Mexico’s government and drug cartels.
The incident occurred on Sunday in the south-central part of Mexico along a highway near the state border between Puebla and Oaxaca. Authorities found one sedan with a total of nine bodies inside or strewn around the vehicle. Some of the victims had their hands severed, while others were entirely dismembered. All victims had been shot and showed signs of torture.
According to the Puebla Sun newspaper, the nine victims were all students from Tlaxcala who traveled to the beach hotspot of Huatulco, Oaxaca, when they went missing. Their relatives reported them missing on February 27, and it wasn’t until March 2 that authorities discovered their bodies inside the sedan. The victims are described as four women and five men.
Mexican authorities have so far refused to provide case details, claiming they are following various investigation theories.
A post by PERIÓDICO SupreMo explains: “The generators of violence in #México are the security corporations themselves. Municipal police from #Huatulco kidnapped, tortured and dismembered 8 of the 9 young students from Tlaxcala, whose bodies appeared yesterday. 👉 Brenda “N” fled and survived the nightmare, thanks to her today we know what happened.”

Another post shared on social media includes a news paper article alleging that members of the police were responsible for the massacre.
“Municipal police officers abducted the students from Tlaxcala, whose dismembered bodies were found yesterday. Huatulco police implicated in massacre,” the post reads.
