Confessed Mexican Hitman Claims Torture
A man accused of being one of Mexico's most notorious hired killers says his confessions were false and extracted through torture.

Many other crime suspects and ordinary citizens have made similar allegations about disappearances, extra-judicial killings and torture at the hands of the Mexican military and police.
