BBC Mexico Jalisco: Forensics identify 44 bodies in well 14 September 2019

Forensic scientists in Mexico have managed to identify 44 bodies buried in a well in the state of Jalisco.

Discovered just outside the city of Guadalajara, the human remains were hidden in 119 black bags.


The vast majority of the bodies were cut up, so authorities had to piece together different parts in order to identify them.

They say the local forensic department is overwhelmed and does not have the necessary skills to complete the operation.

BBC Tesco Christmas card factory in China denies 'forced labour' 23 Dec 2019

The message - first reported by the Sunday Times - was found by Florence Widdicombe, who was writing cards to her school friends. She found that one of them - featuring a kitten with a Santa hat - had already been written in.

In block capitals, it said: "We are foreign prisoners in Shanghai Qingpu prison China. Forced to work against our will. Please help us and notify human rights organisation."


Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters on Monday the allegation was "a farce" created by Mr Humphrey.

"Shanghai's Qingpu prison has no such foreign prisoners undergoing forced labour," Mr Shuang said.


 名指しされたHumphrey氏としては

"So this was written by some of my cellmates from that period who are still there serving sentences.

"I'm pretty sure this was written as a collective message. Obviously one single hand produced this capital letters' handwriting and I think I know who it was, but I will never disclose that name."
