Mexico's Attorney General Jesús Murillo Karam defended the hypothesis of a collective crime.

Speaking about the investigation on the disappearance of the 43 students of Ayotzinapa teachers training college, Mexico's Attorney General Jesús Murillo Karam said that the exact number of people that were taken to Cocula's garbage dump may never be known.

Mexico's Attorney General Jesús Murillo Karam said that there is evidence that members of the criminal gang Guerreros Unidos killed a group of people at the garbage dump of Cocula in Guerrero.
 
"They were burned; there is clear evidence that there was a fairly long and serious fire," Karam said. However, he admitted that "the total number of victims" may never be known."

Speaking about the investigation on the disappearance of the 43 students of Ayotzinapa teachers training college, missing since September 26, he said the modus operandi used by the perpetrators is not new because it was used before by Los Zetas cartel.
 
While defending the hypothesis of a collective crime, Karam said that authorities would have never known that the remains of the students were put in plastic bags and dumped into San Juan River was it not for the testimonies provided by three of the detainees.

An analysis conducted by Innsbruck University in Austria confirmed that one of the bone fragments found at San Juan River in Cocula corresponds to Alexander Mora Venancio, one of 43 students.
