Claudia Sheinbaum, the newly inaugurated president, called for the soldiers involved to be ‘investigated and punished’.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has described the killing of six migrants by Mexican troops as “deplorable” and called for an investigation into the shooting.
“It’s a regrettable event, and it must be investigated and punished,” Sheinbaum said at a news conference on Thursday. “A situation like this cannot be repeated.”
She added that the attorney general’s office was investigating the incident but did not say whether any action had already been taken against the soldiers.
Her remarks come in response to an incident on the evening of October 1, when Mexican soldiers opened fire on a truck they described as travelling “at high speed” near the town of Huixtla, close to the border with Guatemala.
The Ministry of Defence later said the soldiers heard “explosions” coming from the truck, prompting their response.
