The body of a Mexican journalist who worked for the Notiver newspaper has been found dumped outside the offices of another newspaper in Veracruz state

Crime reporter Yolanda Ordaz de la Cruz had been missing for several days. Officials said that organized crime was suspected in the murder of Ordaz, who was found with her throat cut. Recently, columnist Miguel Angel Lopez Velasco, who wrote about politics and crime for Notiver, was killed in his house in the port city of Veracruz. His wife and son were also killed in the attack. Ordaz's body was found outside the offices of another newspaper in Boca del Rio, a city next to the port of Veracruz. Authorities are looking at links between her murder and those of Lopez Velasco and his family. The attorney general of Veracruz state, Reynaldo Escobar, said that everything pointed to organized crime being behind the killing of Ordaz. The US-based Committee to Protect Journalists says that 15 reporters have been killed in Mexico since 2010.
