Twelve police officers have been arrested in the northern Mexico for their alleged connection to the killing of a group of migrants last month.
The bodies of 19 people were found in a burnt-out vehicle near the US border in Tamaulipas state on 22 January.
Most of the victims are believed to have been Central American migrants.
Investigators think they were killed as part of a turf war between criminal gangs over control of migrant smuggling routes in the area.
Sixteen of the victims were male and one female. Two of the bodies were so badly burned, their sex could not be established.
DNA tests have so far shown that two were Mexican nationals and two were Guatemalan.
Prosecutors are investigating whether the two Mexicans may have been involved in smuggling the rest of the group to the US.
The two Guatemalans so far identified were 22-year-old football player Marvin Tomás and Élfego Roliberto Miranda Díaz. Both are from the town of Comitancillo in Guatemala.
