4 year investigation of 5 student murders drags on

 FOUR YEARS after the revelation of the kidnapping  and murder of five university students of Chinese descent  shocked the country, the investigation of 10 people accused of the crime is not complete and no date has been set for a trial.

The killings took place in a house in Chorrera  and bodies were found buried under the floor. Taped ransom appeal  messages from at least one of the victims were sent the parents after her death

Local Chinese citizens  have held several vigils marking  the September 15, 2011 discovery and calling for justice
