Armed men in Mexico have killed the family of a special forces marine involved in fighting a powerful drug leader.

The attack took place just hours after the military honoured the officer as a national hero.

He died last week in a raid that also killed cartel head Arturo Beltran Leyva.

Franc Contreras reports.
