A regional human rights body investigating the disappearance of 43 students in Mexico has asked police to inspect two sites that parents of the missing hope could shed light on the case.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) said Monday that relatives of the aspiring teachers have given the group two "very concrete" locations related to the September 26 mass disappearance in southern Guerrero state.

The families gave exact geographic coordinates for one location, while they believe the second one is suspicious because the area appears to have changed and "could have been used" in the disappearance, commission expert Carlos Beristain said, refusing to provide more details.

"We have given the information to the federal police chief for the police to analyze it and give a response to the families about these locations," Beristain told a news conference, adding that the commission has not verified the reliability of the data.

The commission began its work in early March with the government's consent in a case that sparked protests against President Enrique Pena Nieto. The body is due to give its conclusions on the case in September.
