[The Fourth Nephite]

A missionary has been murdered in Mexico. The news hasn't reached the States yet. His companion is a suspect.

I don't read spanish, but here's a link:

WTH?

[Donuthole]

i didn't have time I read it thoroughly, but I got the gist of it. His companions says he left him alone to go get something to eat, and when he came back the guy was dead with a plastic bag over his head.

Other articles, which I didn't link to because of graphic photos, say the surviving companion took a bath. When he finished and came out of the bathroom, he found his companion with hands tied and a plastic bag over his head. His companion says he tore the bag and tried to revive him. I think he's under arrest.

Here is the departed elder:

He looks like a good kid.

I also caught that the companion told the police that it was a suicide but the police seem to be ruling it out because when they arrived they found his hands tied or bound.

Been a while since I read that much in Spanish.

His companion says he didn't see him for a few minutes, but went to look for him so they could go eat, he found him dead with a plastic bag over his head. The problem is that the police found the body with his hands tied.

Horribly tragic.

Seems like a good kid -- named after a famous pioneer.

Does it sound like a case of companioncide? Remember 30 years ago another missionary killed his companion while he was in the bathtub. Killing someone kind of defeats the purpose of a mission.

Holy crap, I think I know his family from my mission. He would have been a baby at the time.

One time mp called companion to deal with certain missionary that called mp saying his comp was about to kill him ought to get me out of here. Heard that missionary took leak in that other ones hair spray. Senior comp there pretty disobedient and other missionary personality did not collide with other people, Though not a bad person. Kill would be extreme but extreme hard to get along with people. ET happened there.

Had one comp shook me against couch several times and told me to leave him alone under a lot of stress. Impossible to get along with. In apartment calling people figuring things out and I told him that getting something done better than thinking about it. When he did that.

There are comps maybe you can't live it. But to actually murder someone now that is just strange.

This murder happened 5 days ago. I find it odd that the mainstream media hasn't picked up on it yet.

Too busy with GRAMA filings for email and digging into 19 year old college kids acting like college kids in a locker room.

I hate hearing stories like this. My son is in Mexico, and I worry about his safety all the time.

That must be horrible for you. However, this case appears to be an isolated incident involving the companion as opposed to drug violence or something like that. Feels like this could have happened anywhere.

I've got to admit, when I read the thread title "Missionary Murdered in Mexico", I kinda felt a chill.
