Mexican poltiican butchered at roadside

Four men hacked a Mexican politician to death with machetes and wounded a journalist who was apparently talking to him on the side of a road.

State assemblyman Osbaldo Esquivel Lucatero had stopped with his brother to meet the journalist on the outskirts of Morelia, the capital of Michoacan state. While the two were talking, four men pulled up in a car and attacked the two.
