State prosecutors opened an investigation on Friday into the slaying of a Roman Catholic priest whose body was found on Christmas Day, four days after he was abducted from the seminary where he taught in Ciudad Altamirano, in the southern state of Guerrero. The killing of the priest, the Rev. Gregorio López Gorostieta, occurred in an area where the government stepped up police and military patrols a month ago after the disappearance of 43 college students revealed how thoroughly organized crime groups control the region. In November, the remains of a Ugandan-born priest, the Rev. John Ssenyondo, who had been missing since April, was found in a mass grave in Guerrero. A third priest, the Rev. José Ascención Acuña Osorio, who was also from the Ciudad Altamirano diocese, was killed in September.
