Mexico: Precinct commander cha
The man who oversaw the police raid on a Mexico City nightclub on Friday during which 12 people were killed was charged with 12 counts of homicide, prosecutors said.
Precinct Commander Guillermo led the raid at the News Divine nightclub, where police said they had gone to check on reports of underage drinking and drug use. The legal age for drinking is 18 in Mexico.
Police initially ordered the approximately 500 patrons out of the nightclub. But soon after, while hundreds of people, including a number of police, were still inside the club, the police outside blocked the exit.
Panic ensued and seven minors and three police were fatally crushed or asphyxiated.
Some survivors allege that police beat them. At least 30 young females said they were ordered to remove their clothes after the operation, so that they could be photographed.
The capital's solicitor said that's not the policy of public ministries.
"We don't take pictures, nor do we do it in those conditions, but we are not excusing anyone," said City Attorney General Rodolfo Felix Cardenas. "We are going to review this very closely."
