MMNN:
A Mexican crime boss was murdered on the operating table as he had plastic surgery to change his appearance and remove his fingerprints.
Gunmen burst into the clinic where Jesus “El Kalimba” Martin was undergoing the procedure on Monday afternoon and killed him along with three other people, Puebla state prosecutors said.
Martin was wanted for allegedly leading a fuel theft ring that illegally taps into pipelines to steal petrol and diesel.
The practice is a risky but lucrative business that has become Mexico’s second-biggest organised crime problem after drug trafficking
