Arrest made in fatal highway assault on family in Mexico

MEXICO CITY Mexico's national security commissioner say a man has been arrested in the case of an attack on a family on a central Mexico highway in which a 2-year-old was killed and a mother and daughter raped. Renato Sales Heredia says that an anonymous tip led to the arrest Tuesday afternoon of a 37-year-old man he identified only as"Orlando N." He was armed. Sales said Wednesday that the man was part of a criminal gang dedicated to robbing travelers on the highway. He says the gang is led by three brothers. Eight assailants stopped the family's vehicle before dawn on May 2 on the highway. The toddler was killed when they forced open the door. Victims had to walk about a mile to a toll booth after the assault. (AP)
