Mexico City, August 25 (teleSUR-RHC)-- A professor from the University of Veracruz, in the Gulf of Mexico, was found dead in his apartment in the port city of Coatzacoalcos, authorities reported on Monday. Early reports suggest the university professor Zacarias Aguirre Domiguez was killed at least 48 hours before his body was found. The professor had not been seen since Friday, the Veracruz Attorney General’s office said. Local press reported that investigations have shown he was beaten to death. They said there were signs of “a struggle” in his bedroom. The chancellor of the UV, Sara Ladron de Guevara, confirmed on Twitter the terrible news saying, "A new attack on the university community … We condemn the violence and we demand justice again and again.” Last Friday, Rafael River, a student at the UV's north campus of Poza Rica, was shot dead, aboard a truck, when he was head home for a weekend with his family in the neighboring state of Puebla. In a recent public event in Coatzacalcos, where Aguirre Domiguez was killed, the public security secretary of Veracruz, Arturo Bermudez, recommended people to"buy dogs and locks" if they feel they will be victims of crime. The Governor of Veracruz Javier Duarte has been under fire over the increasing violence in the state, furthermore before he was blamed, by the public opinion, for the murder of the photojournalist Ruben Espinosa and the activist Nadia Vera, who was a member of the UV's Student Assembly. Before their murders, both Vera and Espinosa accused Duarte and his government of threatening them and said if they were killed the governor was to be held responsible. Duarte is a ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) militant.
