MEXICO CITY (AP) — Prosecutors in Mexico said a total of seven suspects have now been detained in connection with the Nov. 4 slaughter of nine U.S. dual-national women and children.

Federal prosecutors said three men were arrested in recent days and charged with organized crime for drug offenses, though none apparently yet faces homicide charges.

They said four other suspects are being held under a form of house arrest. The name of one suspect announced by federal prosecutors Monday partially matches the police chief of the town of Janos, Chihuahua, near where the killings occurred.

Local media reported the police chief had been arrested in the killings of members of the extended LeBaron family. They reported the police chief had been in the pay of the La Linea drug gang.

2. Scapegoats?

There is so much corruption in Mexico on both sides of the law. I believe the same is true in this country as well, but not at rampant. I just don't believe anything I hear about incidents like this.

3. The Mormons go to Mexico to avoid the bigamy and underage laws in the US

The Mormons set up their compounds across the US border and keep their extra wives and children there. Usually the drug cartels leave them alone.

But it seems the poligimus sect has run afoul of the drug lords.....I wonder what they did?

But still it's no excuse for murdering women and children.
