Fabian Ramirez Lopez
Knife attack
The body of radio presenter Fabian Ramirez Lopez who worked for regional radio La Magia 97.1 was found dead close to Mazatlan, Sinaloa, north-western Mexico, 48 hours after he went missing after leaving his home to go to work.
The victim was found with his throat cut after an anonymous call was made to the radio station on the evening of 11 October. He also had injuries to his arms and the letters YTTS had been carved onto his back with a blunt instrument, the local press reported.
It was also reported that his mobile phone and his papers were found on the body, appearing to rule out theft as a motive. Ramirez had worked for La Magia 97.1 for five years before he disappeared without trace after leaving for work on 9 October.
