Bishop denies murdered Mexican priest had gang ties

Bishop Rangel of Guerrero said the two slain priests were musicians, who performed in remote hamlets and "approached people" and "evangelized" through music. Father Muniz, he said, was famed for his parish choir, while Father Anorve came from the Costa Chica region, at least five hours away.
