The Mexican attorney general's office hit back today at new criticism of its conclusion that 43 missing students were slaughtered after foreign experts said the probe was marred by mistakes.
 
An Argentine-led team of forensic experts said that, while they could not exclude the possibility that the students were incinerated in a landfill by a drug gang, there was "no scientific evidence" to say that for sure.

But the attorney general's office issued a statement rejecting the "little sustained arguments" of the Argentine forensic anthropology team, which was hired by parents of the 43 young men to participate in the probe.
 
"It is unacceptable that - in the face of a body of evidence, expert (investigations), confessions, statements and investigative inspections - there are attempts to sow doubts that around 40 people were executed and incinerated in that location," the statement said.
 
Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam declared on January 27 that he had the "legal certainty" that the aspiring teachers were murdered in the southern state of Guerrero in September after corrupt police handed them over to the gang.
 
The Argentine experts noted on Saturday that several fires had been set at the landfill since 2010, meaning physical evidence collected at the site could belong to other events unrelated to the case.
