5 Arrested in Slayings of Women in Ciudad Juarez
From Times Wire Services
Mexican authorities said they had arrested five men suspected of killing women in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, where more than 300 women have died in a wave of killings dating back more than a decade.
The five men were arrested over the last three weeks in the slayings of women in 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2005, police said.
Mexican police said the arrests were the result of a yearlong analysis of files on women who were killed as long ago as 1993 in Ciudad Juarez, just south of El Paso.
