"Non-governmental organizations and members of the press are demanding an investigation and justice for the murder of Merida journalist Walter Jaimes.
Jaimes had been reported missing since last Saturday [Feb. 28]; however, it was not until this Tuesday, March 3, that his identity was confirmed, after his body was located in the Puente Viejo sector, in La Variante, in Mérida.
The journalist's body showed signs of extreme violence; his face was beaten and burned, and he was not carrying any identification, which made it difficult to identify the body."
