Murdered journalist covering missing persons cases

Journalist Eduardo Flores was killed in Mexico. He covered security, social issues and missing persons cases in Acapulco, Reuters reported.

The body was found Saturday night on the outskirts of Acapulco. Flores worked for Enfoque Informativo. The organization said the attack was an attack on freedom of expression.

Colleagues promised to continue their work and urged the prosecutor’s office to bring those responsible to justice. The Guerrero state prosecutor's office has opened an investigation but has not yet said how Flores was killed or confirmed the arrests.

Mexico is consistently among the countries with the most dangerous situation for journalists. Human rights group Article 19 has documented 181 such cases since 2000.
