The mayor of a city in southern Mexico has been murdered less than a week after taking office, authorities said, marking the latest in a series of attacks on politicians in the violence-plagued Latin American country. The killing of Chilpancingo mayor, Alejandro Arcos, “fills us with indignation,” Guerrero State governor, Evelyn Salgado, wrote on social media, without providing further details of the circumstances. Local media reported that Arcos had been decapitated, but there has been no official confirmation.
