Father José Alfredo López Guillén

The body of a priest kidnapped last week in Mexico has been found.

Father José Alfredo López Guillén, 43, had been robbed before being kidnapped from his home in the Western Mexican state of Michoacan, according to Church officials.

Prosecutors said that a post-mortem examination revealed that he had been murdered several days before his body was found.

Friends described Father Guillén as a dedicated and quiet priest who neither drank nor smoked and had no taste for luxury items.
