A Mexico City judge has sentenced three men to 520 years in jail each for their roles in the kidnapping and murder of 13 young people two years ago.

Their victims were kidnapped from a bar called Heaven not far from the city's main avenue, Paseo de la Reforma.

Their bodies were found three months later in a mass grave outside the city, after family members organized large street protests.

Prosecutors say they are still questioning dozens of other suspects.

The three men who were sentenced were also fined more than $300,000 each.

According to the investigation, the crime was a reprisal for the murder of a drug trafficker which occurred a few days before in another bar in Mexico City.
