10 arrested for killing police chief in Mexico

Mexico City, Nov 7

Ten people have been arrested for killing a police chief in northern Mexico, officials said.

Arturo Esparza Garcia and his four bodyguards were killed Wednesday in Garcia town when they rushed to the house of Mayor Jaime Rodriguez Calderon to protect him from gunmen who barged into his house.

Calderon said about 30 gunmen came to his house to force him into cooperating with organised crime. The gunmen opened fire at the police team when they reached Calderon's house.

Garcia, 63, had served as brigadier general in the army before joining the police force.

Several police officers were among those arrested, the attorney general's office in Nuevo Leon state said Friday.
