Kidnappers kill boy, 5, with acid injection

Kidnappers killed a 5-year-old boy by injecting him with acid after his family sought police help – a new low even for Mexico’s brutal kidnapping gangs.

Mexico City Attorney General Miguel Mancera said today that assailants injected the acid into the boy’s heart and buried him on a hill outside the capital – in a killing that highlights the plague of kidnappings for ransom.
