translated from Spanish: Three charred cops are located on the road to the Oaxacan community

Three policemen from a rural community in Oaxaca were killed and traced this Saturday after being ambushed while traveling on a surrounding road, local authorities reported.
On social media, the Oaxaca Public Prosecutor’s Office reported that it has already initiated an investigative folder for the violent events that have arisen in the Sierra Sur, in which the three elements of the municipal police of San Pablo Coatlán, Miahuatlán, died.
The state prosecutor’s office detailed that the attack occurred around noon when the police director of that community and two other elements, including a woman, were traveling on the road leading to the spa in Puerto Escondido.
The site was “located a calcined patrol of the municipal police of San Pablo Coatlán, without circulation plates (registration)”, according to the prosecutor’s office.

For its part, the municipal presidency called for the establishment of a working table on security due to the climate of violence affecting the community, AFP reported.
“Violence is attributed to the presence of drug trafficking gangs as an area where marijuana is traditionally grown, in addition to disputes over farmland,” the same news agency said.
Today, more than 300,000 people, according to official figures, have been killed in Mexico since the federal government launched a questioned anti-drug military operation in December 2006. Most murders are attributed to fights between criminal groups.
In 2019, in the same community of St. Paul Coatlán, a group of five state police officers were ambushed in a massacre.
