AN ACTIVIST who documented murders in one of Mexico’s deadliest cities has himself been killed, authorities confirmed on Wednesday.
Adolfo Enriquez was killed in the city of Leon, in north-central Guanajuato state, a city with the third-highest number of homicides in Mexico, trailing only the border cities of Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez.
Mr Enriquez described himself on his social media profiles as an “activist, demanding a country with the rule of law.”
