Bishop denies murdered Mexican priest had gang ties

Bishop Rangel of Guerrero said the two slain priests were musicians, who performed in remote hamlets and "approached people" and "evangelized" through music. Father Muniz, he said, was famed for his parish choir, while Father Anorve came from the Costa Chica region, at least five hours away.
ACAPULCO, Mexico – The Bishop of Chilpancingo-Chilapa, Mexico denied that Fr. Germain Muñiz Garcia, who was murdered on a Mexican highway Feb. 5 along with Fr. Iván Añorve Jaimes, had any connection to organized crime, as the Guerrero State Prosecutor's Office has recently claimed.
