A newspaper reporter in Mexico has been murdered and beheaded, his paper reported Wednesday.

Julio Valdivia is at least the fifth journalist killed in Mexico this year, according to media watchdog Reporters Without Borders.

The body of the 41-year-old was found near his motorcycle on railroad tracks in the town of Motzorongo.

Hugo Gutierrez, security minister and head of police in Veracruz state, condemned the “cowardly murder” and promised to “exhaust all resources to find those responsible.”

‘Complicated area’

Valdivia reported for the newspaper El Mundo de Veracruz, working in a rural zone near Oaxaca state that has long been plagued with gang violence.

His newspaper said he had covered a confrontation between police and suspected criminals the previous day.

Valdivia “worked in a complicated area where there are criminal groups,” said Ana Laura Perez of the State Commission for the Attention and Protection of Journalists, a government body.

“It must be investigated if he had reported something that bothered these criminal groups,” she said.

Veracruz frequently sees fights between Mexico’s rival drug cartels and is the country’s deadliest state for media workers.

Dangerous place to report

More than 140 journalists have been killed in Mexico in the last 20 years. Only a small fraction of these murders have led to convictions.

In March, journalist Maria Elena Ferral was shot dead by two assailants on motorbikes when getting into her car in Veracruz.

In August, an independent journalist died in police custody in a Mexican border city. Juan Nelcio Espinoza had been arrested while covering a confrontation in the city of Piedras Negras, across from Eagle Pass, Texas.

Mexico frequently ranks highly as one of the most dangerous countries in the world to be a reporter. In 2019, about half of all murders of journalists around the world occurred in Mexico, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
