A Catholic priest abducted in September was killed by two men who were visiting him at his residence, Mexican authorities claimed on Monday.
The chief prosecutor for the western state of Michoacan said Fr Jose Alfredo Lopez Guillen was meeting with the men at his residence in the rural town of Janamuato on September 19.
"It was a social meeting during which there was a falling out between those present," the prosecutor's office said in a statement. It gave no further details on the gathering, but added, "At some point, there was an argument."
