The Argentine Forensic Anthropologists team, hired on behalf of the students’ parents as an independent party, issued what it said was a list of discrepancies in the case. The team had access to forensic evidence and crime scenes along with federal prosecutors and Mexico’s own forensic investigators. Its statement said Mexico’s government presented biased analyses of the scientific evidence to support its conclusion that the youths were killed, their bodies burned to ashes in Cocula in southern Guerrero state and their remains thrown into a river to hide the evidence. So far only one of the students has been identified from charred remains found at the river. The team “would like to reiterate that it doesn’t exclude the possibility that some of the students met the fate described by the attorney general”, the experts said in the statement issued after they met with parents. “But in our opinion there is no scientific evidence to support that in the Cocula garbage dump.” The attorney general’s office did not respond Saturday to requests for comment on the statement from the Argentine team, which is a nonprofit forensic science organisation that investigates human right violations around the world. It was established in 1984 to investigate cases of at least 9,000 missing under Argentina’s 1976-1983 military dictatorship. The attorney general, Jesus Murillo Karam, said on 27 January that based on 39 confessions, 386 declarations, 487 forensic tests, 16 raids and two reconstructions, investigators concluded that municipal police arrested the youths in the city of Iguala on 26 September and handed them over to the Guerreros Unidos cartel. The government alleges gang members killed the students, burned their corpses into the next day using a huge pyre and disposed of the ashes.
