Who Killed Luis Colosio?
The murder of the presidential candidate for Mexico's ruling party in March 1994 sent shock waves through the Latin American nation. Many believe the true killers remain at large.
On 23 March 1994 the presidential candidate for Mexico's ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, PRI, was shot dead in the border town of Tijuana. Luis Donaldo Colosio, who was expected to be the country's next leader, was killed when out campaigning. A sole gunman is still in jail for his murder, but Alfonso Durazo, Colosio's former private secretary, tells Mike Lanchin why he believes the murder was part of a wider political plot.
