In Mexico, Several people have been detained for investigation in Mexico in connection with last week’s rape of six Spanish tourists in Acapulco.
Governor Angel Aguirre said two of those detained were also being investigated in connection with another rape case.
He said the two had been identified by victims in that case, but he added that no identifications had been made by victims in the rape of the Spanish women.
Officials on Sunday declined to say how many suspects were in custody.
About 40 people who briefly blocked the road to Acapulco’s airport said five of their relatives had been detained in the case. They charged that the men were wrongly arrested and were being made scapegoats.
“It’s been 48 hours that our family hasn’t seen them. We know nothing about them. One is a nephew and one is my brother,” said one of the protesters, who gave her name as Flor Silva.
The state public safety secretary, Guillermo Jimenez, persuaded the protesters to end the road blockade in return for being allowed to meet their relatives.
The February 4 attack on the Spaniards began when a band of masked gunmen broke into a beach front home before dawn.
The attackers tied up the men present at the house, and then raped the six Spanish women there. A seventh woman, a Mexican national, was not harmed during the hours-long assault.
