The Mexican government said it will give at least $3.3 million to relatives of criminal suspects slain in 2014 by soldiers under a Mexican law requiring compensation for victims of human rights violations.

A human rights investigation found 12 to 15 of the 22 suspects were killed by army troops after surrendering. Jaime Rochin, the head of the government Commission for Attending to Victims, said 13 families whose relatives were killed have been identified.
