"Enough, I’m tired" says Murillo Karam #yamecanse (2012mx)

Despite sparking outrage by saying he had "had enough" when grilled by reporters over the abduction and apparent massacre of 43 trainee teachers, Mexico's attorney-general says he would do it again.

Jesus Murillo tried to cut short a news conference on Friday evening, arching his eyebrows with the aside "Ya me canse", or "I've had enough".

His words quickly went viral on social media and protesters painted the hashtag #YaMeCanse... de miedo (I've had enough... of fear) on the gates to his office.

Asked if his phrase was unfortunate, a defiant Mr Murillo told local television on Monday: "No. I was tired and that is the truth".

"Naturally, I have no reason to lie, I'm as human as the next person and I also get tired," he said, when asked if he would say it again.

"I have slept four hours a night for 30 days, and that day I had been awake for 40 hours."
