Mexico missing student "identified"
At least one of 43 Mexican students who went missing in Guerrero state has been identified from charred remains, an official says.
A family member of one of the students, Alexander Mora, confirmed that the remains identified were his.
The relative said the family had received the information from a team of forensic experts.
The students were allegedly seized by local police in the town of Iguala in September and given to a criminal gang.
Prosecutors say the gang killed them and burned their bodies at a rubbish dump near the town of Cocula before scattered their ashes in a river.
The students' disappearance has triggered widespread protests across Mexico against corruption and violence.
