    Conservationists protecting monarch butterflies killed in Mexico

    Hernandez Romero showed signs of “blows to different parts of his body and a head injury caused by a sharp object,” the local public prosecutor said on Monday.

    A second Mexican conservationist active in protecting monarch butterflies has been found dead within days of each other, authorities said. The body of Raul Hernandez Romero was found on Saturday in the central-western state of Michoacan, where Homero Gomez Gonzalez was found at the bottom of a well last Wednesday, two weeks after going missing.
