3 siblings killed by Mexican cartel could have been mistake

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Authorities in the western Mexico state of Jalisco are investigating whether the abduction and killing of three siblings could have been a case of mistaken identity.

The abductions came as hundreds of people fled villages in the northern part of Jalisco to escape shootouts between drug gangs, and thousands of white-clad demonstrators marched through the state capital, Guadalajara, to protest the killings of the three young people.

The three were kidnapped Friday night, when a group of armed men wearing tactical vests with the initials of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel snatched the siblings from their home in the Guadalajara suburb of Tlaquepaque, Jalisco state prosecutor Gerardo Octavio Solís Gómez said Monday.

Their bodies were found bundled in bedding and dumped on the side of highway outside Guadalajara on Sunday morning. A message left by the cartel with the bodies included a warning to the government.
