MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Argentine forensics experts said on Tuesday they had found the remains of 19 people in a dump in southwestern Mexico where the government claimed 43 missing students were incinerated in 2014, but no sign of the students.

The student teachers disappeared in the southwestern city of Iguala in September 2014, in an incident that sparked an international outcry over human rights abuse, forced disappearances and killings committed with impunity in Mexico.
