Police in Mexico have arrested a man they accuse of being the mastermind behind the murder of a popular mayor.
The mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Manzo, was shot dead on 1 November at a public event marking the Day of the Dead.
Manzo was an outspoken critic of cartel violence in his home state of Michoacán and his assassination triggered mass protests.
Mexico's security minister said the man suspected of ordering his murder had links to the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
"This arrest represents a key step in dismantling the criminal structure responsible for this attack," Security Minister Omar García Harfuch said.
