Detain 4 suspects in ambush leaving 6 policemen brutally murdered in Guerrero

by Chivis Martinez for Borderland Beat



Killing was not enough

The video released on social media was horrific, even by Mexico standards of violence.  Six Guerrero State policemen were ambushed in Zihuatanejo by armed gang members.  One of the gunmen videotaped the aftermath. 

Killing the policemen was not enough for these vile assassins, giving each policeman a shot to the back of the head.  But as their corps lay on the pavement, they abused the bodies, making animalistic sounds, cursing kicking the heads so that brain matter was forced out of the skulls, assuring a shocking sight to those who will bear witness to what remained of six men.  A video was sent in to BB and it was posted yesterday.  

If you missed it, the video is below, however be forewarned it is very graphic.



"This is to let you know that with El 40 and El Chivo Loco no one messes with, our comrades are not going to die in vain, enter here you will leave the same way you came in.

Arrests made

Good news, there are arrests already made.  Bad news, there are arrests already made.  I admit to being suspect, one eyebrow raised, I am always suspect of something too perfect, too soon, in Mexican criminal justice

They were arrested on a street in downtown Zihuatanejo while they were boozing it up and carrying long weapons according to the Sec of Public Security. Four members of a criminal group who the state says ambushed and killed six state policemen in Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, on April 17.

They happened to be in the center of Zihuatanejo on Thursday afternoon at which time they were arrested.

The Secretary of Public Security, Pedro Almazán Cervantes, informed the public of the arrest  in a message to media, “that the four men were detained during an operation, at 6:30 p.m. in a central street of Zihuatanejo,  while they consumed intoxicating drinks on public roads."

The four were secured with long weapons, AK47’s and AR15’s clips of different calibers, and drugs, mainly marijuana. Three of them are originally from Guerrero and live in Colonia Vicente Guerrero, Zihuatanejo, and one was born in Mexico City and has its home on the Zihuatanejo-Acapulco highway.

The Secretary says the four men are members of the criminal group that ambushed and murdered six Guerrero state police officers, but they are related to various murders and acts of extortion in the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo tourist corridor, Almazán Cervantes said.

Video narrative

“This is so that you motherfucker dogs  know that here nobody fucks around with El 40 and El Chivo Loco, our comrades won’t die in vain”, “whoever comes here will leave like this.”   Authorities suggest that El 40 is the cell phone videographer.  El Chivo Loco  is a lieutenant of as El Ruso, aka The Russian.

The video narrative says killings will persist if state police continue entering the region.  This is where CJNG, Viagras, Guardia Guerrerense are operating.  GG originated in 2014 with members of  Templarios and work at the service of El Mencho. Viagras represents the sole splinter group of the Templarios and CJNG, the cartel Jalisco is the greatest narco threat facing Mexico today.

The uniformed police were travelling down from the mountains for a shift change when attacked and  passing through Las Mesillas [about 3 hrs from Zihuatanejo] when they were ambushed.

After the massive broadcast of the video on social media and later mainstream media, the Government of Guerrero [led by PRI Hector Astudillo Flore] threatened media from all over the country they would be prosecuted if they publish the video.

"The State Government has requested the intervention of the General State Prosecutor's Office and the Cybernetic Police to locate the source of its dissemination, and legal action will be taken against those who disclose contents." authorities said in a statement

    1. Same problem in Mexico! Cops murder innocent people all the time with little attention from the media or government.

      It’s not unprecedented, in fact, common in Mexico for “authorities” to kidnap anyone off the streets and accuse or charge them for high profile crimes.

      And there is no such thing as an “elite” Mexican police officer!

  8. Chivis, thanks for keeping us updated with facts on this senseless drug war.. for that I thank you ... however I find that a lot of your articles are opinionated and honestly it takes credibility from you ... your opinion on the Mexican justice system is best to be saved for the comments section of this site and not as part of the article itself.

      and that is the difference between chivis and other reporters and other media. She knows these arrests stink. Remember how quickly Iguala was "solved" with over 100 arrests? and in short time all of those detainees were out.

      You want cold BS spoon-fed to you? Read the Guerrero state press release. if you want to learn reality and see both sides read chivis posts.

      if you have a problem with that, go away

    2. yes willito 7:42, she is laying it out truthfully. I guess you are stupid enough to believe that 4 guys who just committed one of the highest profile murders of 6 state cops, on video, would be drinking alcohol waving ak47s and ar15s around in the city center. In stead of going on the down low for a few weeks.

      chivis don't post the bullshit whinny complaints, just send a paci. if they have a complaint the cowards need to email you. I could tell by your writing you were very upset and justice probably won't happen. we know that. To me I could feel your heart breaking. keep up the great work you have done for 9 or 10 years, don't change who you are.

    Daily reminder that the Cartel members, or as They should be properly named by their obvious subhuman traits, the "Carteloids" are 100% evil, soulless subhumans coked up on meth and alcohol 24/7 who love nothing more than to peel the faces and rip the hearts out of children, conduct annual raids on the poorer villages of the Mexico and kidnap girls as young as 6 to be used as their own personal sex slaves. And when they are no longer needed, they butcher them up and drown them in buckets full of acid that the Carteloids refers to "Guiso de Perrita.

  14. The Mexican peso suffered its biggest rout in four months on Thursday, likely due to the realization dawning on market participants that the veteran populist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (or AMLO) may win the presidential elections on July 1. AMLO has led all the polls in Mexico for well over a year and is still 15 points ahead of his closest rival. And now he’s threatening to put an end to the country’s most expensive public infrastructure project, Mexico City’s new airport, which has been plagued by corruption, scandals, and cost overruns since its inception four years ago.

    AMLO’s latest pledge has aroused fits of apoplexy among Mexico’s business elite, many of whom stand to rake in large sums of money from the project — no one more so than Mexico’s richest man, Carlos Slim, who told journalists in Mexico City this week that suspending the project “would mean suspending the country’s growth.’’ Slim urged AMLO to reconsider his opposition.

    Slim’s concern is not wholly altruistic. Grupo Carso, one of his many construction companies, is deeply involved in the building project. Three big contracts allegedly worth 94 billion pesos ($5 billion) are in the hands of consortia led by Grupo Carso or other firms owned by Slim and his family.

    The first tender that Slim’s family won was for the airport’s architectural design, which was awarded to a firm run by Fernando Romero, a Mexican architect who is married to one of Carlos Slim’s daughters. British architect Nigel Foster led the design project, for which Fernando Romero Enterprises was reportedly able to bill Mexico’s government a cool $1 billion.

    Other large Mexican companies involved in the project include ICA, which almost went under two and a half years ago after overdosing on dollar-denominated debt, Prodemex, GIA, and Grupo Hermes, which is owned by Carlos Hank, a billionaire banker with cozy ties to the current government. Two other major participants are the Spanish infrastructure giants Acciona and FCC, the latter of which is also majority-owned by Carlos Slim.

    One of the biggest potential money earners for some of these companies will be the airport’s absurdly high maintenance costs once it’s built. Until recently, the site on which it’s being developed was home to a very large lake, which was drained before work began. But the ground still has extremely high water content and low resistance to stress. As the Mexican newspaper Proceso reported last year, this will inevitably result in very juicy contracts just to keep the land upon which the airport is built fit for purpose.

  15. When the project to build the airport was first launched in 2014, it was broadly welcomed by the general public. Mexico City is one of the world’s biggest metropolises and its airport is Latin America’s busiest hub, yet it has no room for further growth since it is located slap bang in the middle of a built-up residential area. By contrast, the new airport, located 15 kilometers (over 9 miles) from the city center, would eventually have six runways built and 94 boarding gates on a site almost 5,000 hectares (12,355 acres) large. It would have a capacity of close to 120 million passengers per year, four times the current airport’s capacity, making it “one of the 3 biggest hubs in the world.”

    But as soon as the project began, so, too, did the accusations of corruption. And in Mexico right now corruption is a hot-button topic, occupying top spot in many of the surveys of top voting issues, ahead of even drug-related violence.

    The airport project is currently 50 billion pesos ($2.7 billion) over budget and it’s not even close to completion. Considering that at least 40% of the funding is expected to be delivered through Public-Private Partnerships, which tend to include exorbitant long-term repayment costs, the eventual bill is likely to be far in excess of the original projected costs of 169 billion pesos ($9 billion).

    Cost overruns are a particular cause of concern when there’s scant oversight of how the funds are being spent. According to the head of the congressional committee set up to oversee the project, Rafael Hernandez Soriano, there is so little transparency that it’s very hard to tell where exactly the money is going.

    A mind-watering 70% of the contracts, some of which have a duration of 50 years (with the option of extending them to 100 years), were awarded without tender, in direct contravention of the Mexican government’s own anti-corruption laws. The deep opacity also extends to the government’s financing arrangements with international banks and the issuance of green bonds, Hernandez Soriano says.

    Given how much money the project could generate in years to come for some of Mexico’s biggest companies and international banks, as well as how much has already been ploughed into it, Mexico’s business elite and their political minders will fight tooth-and-nail to ensure that AMLO does nothing to upset the apple cart. It’s still far from certain that AMLO will actually win the elections or indeed that he intends to go ahead with this plan; it could just be an electoral ploy to galvanise his base. But if he does win the elections and he does go ahead with the plan, every effort will be made to change his mind, including the threat of litigation and broader economic fallout.

    1. Something happened, but after a couple of days of checking I am left with a conclusion that citizens are over hyping to get the government involved. Citizens say 100 men in 30 trucks convoyed into the municipality and started fires and mayhem. Yet the short couple of videos do not depict that. There would be many more ample footage videos if something as described happened.

      Anyway that is my opinion for now...

  17. Like I said these 6 cops were killed in response to the killing of 10 of their people. This was an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth type of deal.

    The people that think that the government will go heavy on them fail to realize that they have always been tough on cartel members unless you have money. If you are caught by the government you get a fat ass whopping, water boarded, plastic bag to the head, they hook up a car battery to two wires and electrocute you. If they dislike you enough they will disappear you or chop you up and place a manta on you.

  23. As much as I would like see intervention from foreign countries to assist Mexico in their troubled times. It is the collusion of Mexico’s government officials that would gain from it. Not it’s citizens! Just adding more fuel to their fire. Moreover, further neglecting the citizens of Mexico from good governance.
    Besides America’s recent record has proven to worsen matters in regions of conflict where US forces were implemented. Libya, Iraq are perfect examples of a revolution in ruins.

    Not conflicting at all. Analyzing certain factors with reason states otherwise. Wishful intentions are applied by many for sake of hope.The end result will not make a difference due to government criminal involvement.
    Government itself is the root of the problems which has plagued its country. Along with the demand of drug consumption which fueled its continuous practices.
    What difference will military intervention make if those in power are the cause! Success will only come from removing those political powers which continue to wreak havoc.

    The latter portion of comment points to outcomes elsewhere in parts of the world.
    This is clearly an in-house issue within its own. Resolvement can only come from ones determination for change. And that my friend bears the sole purpose / responsibility of its citizens.

    And that is the Clear and Present Danger on the US, helped by the "be nice and don't say names" politics of many a place.
