Veteran Mexican crime reporter murdered

The body of a veteran Mexican journalist was found dumped on a dirt road near Chihuahua, a Mexican state across the border from Texas. Enrique Perea Quintanilla, publisher of the magazine Dos Caras, Una Verdad ( Two Faces, One Truth) had been shot in the back and forehead. A police spokesman said the killing had the appearance of being carried out by organised crime. For the past 10 months Perea Quintanilla, a crime reporter for more than 20 years, had been writing hard-hitting reports in his magazine about corrupt government officials and unsolved murders. He is the 10th journalist murdered in Mexico since 2004. (Via Austin American Statesman)
