Family members of some of the missing student teachers in Mexico denied official claims that their loved ones had been burned and dumped in a garbage bin.
Earlier, government officials said three gang members apprehended last week admitted to setting fire to a group of bodies.
The mother of one of the students says she's waiting for more concrete evidence.
We do not accept this declaration, she said. Even the officials themselves say they aren't certain, so we are waiting for more proof.
But they may be waiting for a long time. Government officials say the charred remains were so badly burned some turned to dust upon contact. Although they stressed every effort would be made to identify the bodies.
Officials say a group of corrupt police working with a local drug gang abducted the students after clashes in the state of Guerrero in late September.
