Mexican security forces have arrested a 56-year-old suspect wanted in connection with the killing of 72 migrants in 2010.
The migrants from South and Central America had been kidnapped by the Zetas gang and taken to a ranch.
A survivor told police that, when they refused to work for the gang, the 58 men and 14 women were killed.
The suspect, Martiniano Jaramillo, was arrested at a hospital in Ciudad Victoria, in northern Mexico.

Falls "The Cheese Pata", leader of Los Z, involved in the massacre of 72 migrants in 2010
Written by International Agencies Posted: Nov 15, 2017
Mexican security forces captured Tuesday Martiniano de Jesus Jaramillo, 56, known as "The Cheese Pata" who is designated as regional leader of the group Los Zetas Vieja Escuela, alleged mastermind of the murder of 72 Latin American migrants in the northeast of Mexico in 2010 and an activist dedicated to the search for the disappeared in May, crimes that generated commotion in the country and in the world.
The location and capture of the man identified as Martiniano de Jesús occurred in the state of Tamaulipas was carried out jointly by the military, the attorney general's office and the National Security Commission (CNS)
Martiniano is identified as the regional head of a criminal group that allegedly coordinated the killing of the 72 migrants in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, which occurred in 2010.
The Zetas murdered the 72 migrants in August 2010, the vast majority of them from Central America, because they refused to be recruited by the cartel or could not pay for their freedom.
The investigation also links Jaramillo to the murder of the representative of the San Fernando group of disappeared, Míriam Rodríguez, executed on May 10 by a group of armed men.
It is presumed that his murder would have been a rematch of the authors of the kidnapping and death of his daughter in 2012, a tragedy that motivated his activism and an intense search for justice.
Rodriguez's death was publicly condemned by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and by Amnesty International.
