go to original February 27, 2015

Mexico's attorney general Jesus Murillo, under fire for months over his handling of the investigation into the abduction and apparent massacre of 43 students, will step down, a senior government official said on Friday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Murillo, one of the most experienced politicians in President Enrique Pena Nieto's government, will be moved to the ministry of agrarian and urban development.

The government said the students were abducted by corrupt police, then handed over to members of a local drug gang, who incinerated the bodies and threw the remains into a river.

Jesus Murillo tried to cut short a news conference in November, 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. (2012mx)
