Significance: At least some of the bodies appear to be of people who were kidnapped when a bus was held up on 25 March.

The marches were organised by civil society groups inspired by the murder of six youngsters in Temixco, Morelos, on 28 March. One of those killed was Juan Francisco Sicilia, the son of a prominent Roman Catholic poet, Javier Sicilia. Sicilia was received by President Felipe Calderón after the Mexico City march yesterday. • Calderón had not scheduled the meeting with Sicilia, and, according to Sicilia, offered his condolences “but nothing beyond what was already known.
