Mexican police have arrested another suspected believed to be responsible for the forced disappearance of 43 student teachers in the town of Iguala last September, the National Security Commission said this week.

On Saturday, April 11, authorities arrested Miguel Ángel Landa Bahena, who previous suspects have identified as a member of the “inner circle” of the Guerreros Unidos drug gang. The suspected leader of the group, Gilardo López Astudillo, remains at large.

Police say Landa Bahena was carrying a gun when he was arrested in Mexico City, and have turned him over to federal prosecutors.

Authorities have arrested at least 105 suspects in the case of the missing Ayotizinapa students, including the mayor and first lady of Iguala, public officials, police officers, and members of Guerreros Unidos.
