SINALOA: The police chief in Mexico's Sinaloa state was murdered on Monday (Tuesday in Manila) while driving on a highway in the region, home to one of the country's most powerful drug cartels, authorities said. Joel Ernesto Soto, director of the Sinaloa state police, was killed 'in a cowardly attack,' the region's public security chief, Cristobal Castaneda, said on Twitter. Soto was killed while returning alone to the state capital Culiacan after spending several days with his family.
