The body of radio presenter Fidel Ávila Gómez was found after he had been missing for over a month

It has taken just over a week for
Mexico – one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists – to record its first murder of a reporter in 2020.
The bullet-riddled corpse of radio presenter Fidel Ávila Gómez was found on Wednesday near a rubbish dump in the notorious Tierra Caliente region, Mexico’s heroin-producing heartlands.
