Two of the four women that were killed last Friday along with the photojournalist Ruben Espinosa, in Mexico City, have been identified by the local press as Yesenia Quiroz and Nadia Vera.

Quiroz was a young student with aspirations and great potential, says Carlos Torres in a tweet that has gone viral on social media.
