Collateral Damage: Mexico Crime Activist's Relative Also Found Dead

The damage just keeps on happening.

Mexico Crime Activist's Relative Also Found Dead - NYTimes.com: "Mexican authorities say a relative of an anti-crime crusader gunned down last week as she tried to seek justice for her slain daughter also has been found dead.

The Chihuahua state attorney general's office says the body of Manuel Monge Amparan was identified Sunday after being dumped on a street in Ciudad Juarez, across from El Paso, Texas.

The body was found Saturday after Monge's lumber business was set on fire, prosecutors said. Monge was the brother of Jose Monge, whose partner, Marisela Escobedo Ortiz, was shot to death Thursday outside the offices of Chihuahua Gov. Cesar Duarte. The activist had said she wouldn't move until investigators showed progress in bringing her 17-year-old daughter's killer to justice." Dec. 20, 2010
