Mexican authorities have arrested a suspect in the abduction and murder of two Catholic priests in Veracruz state last month.
Mexico City prosecutors say in a Monday statement that the unidentified suspect was detained on October 13 along with another person after they allegedly carjacked a couple in the capital. Investigators later determined the suspect had an arrest warrant for the kidnapping of the priests.
Fr Alejo Nabor Jimenez and Fr Alfredo Suarez de la Cruz were found bound and shot to death at a roadside outside the city of Poza Rica on September 19.
