Anti-crime campaigner murdered in Mexican city

Susana Chavez, a 36-year-old poet and activist who adopted the slogan Not One More Death, was found strangled, mutilated and dumped on a street in the Mexican border city of Juarez, infamous for a series of murders of women – even before drug cartels made it one of the most violent places in the world.

She had gone out to a bar and befriended three teenagers, who authorities said killed her in an argument and cut off her hand to make it appear an act of organised crime.
