Ruperto Armenta Gerardo, editor of the Guasave-based weekly, “El
Regional”, in the state of Sinaloa, was beaten to death by
unidentified men, on 5 February 1995. Gerardo’s body was found
inside a water canal near the town of Guasave. Although it is not
known if his murder was related to his work as a journalist, it
is alarming because of the many unsolved attacks against
journalists that have occurred in the state of Sinaloa in recent
years. CPJ fears that his murder will have a chilling effect on
the journalistic community of Sinaloa.
