| I totally missed the discovery of the graves April 13th. The four youths kidnapped allegedly by Juarez municipal police officers were laid to rest Sunday, according to Mexican press reports. Juan Carlos Chavira, 28, Dante Castillo, 25, Raul Navarro, 29, and Felix Vizcarra, 22 were buried by members of their families after their bodies were released by Chihuahua state forensic teams following their positive identification. All but Vizcarra were employees of Nextel, who was a car salesman. The four were found in a shallow grave near Casas Grandes, Chihuahua April 13th. They were abducted, witnesses say, by Juarez municipal police agents identified as members of Juarez's elite police Delta group. March 26th. Reports have not detailed how the four men died. Three Juarez police officers, Francisco Campos Dominguez, Eugenio de Los Santos and Leonardo Ivan Loya Hernandez, were ordered into preventative detention for six months a few days after the kidnapping. Two of the three were reportedly elements of newly appointed Juarez police chief Julian Leyzaola Perez's security team. A new law imposing a life sentence for kidnapping was passed late last year as part of Chihuahua governor Cesar Duarte's crackdown on crime in the state.
