The death of a young woman in police custody last week in Mexico's southern state of Oaxaca is being investigated and has led to multiple arrests, state prosecutors told local media late Wednesday.
The attorney general of Oaxaca state, Arturo Peimbert, said in an interview with a local radio station that one local judge and three local policemen had been arrested on suspicion of murdering Abigail Hay Urrutia.
It comes as femicide rates in Mexico continue to soar, with 10 women a day killed on average.
