Seven bodyguards arrested over Mexican mayor’s murder
Seven bodyguards have been arrested in connection with the murder of Mexican mayor Rosalía Palma. The incident took place in the town of San Miguel on Tuesday evening. The bodyguards, who were responsible for the mayor’s security, have been identified as members of a local security company hired to protect Palma.
According to local authorities, the bodyguards are suspected of having links to organized crime groups operating in the region.

However, further details of the investigation have not been disclosed to the public.
