Charred remains of one of the 43 missing Mexican students, who went missing in September and were allegedly killed by drugs gang, have been identified near a garbage dump, confirmed a Mexican official.
The official said that more details on how many students might have been identified cannot be provided, reported Fox News.
A family member said that the remains were of a student named Alexander Mora.
Many people hoped that the students are alive and refused to accept the official explanation by authorities last month.
Detainees have told officials that they burned the 43 bodies at a dump site and scattered their ashes in a river.
Many friends and relatives of the missing students have taken to the streets, some calling for President Enrique Pena Nieto to resign.
