Updated:

Hundreds of people paid their last respects on Tuesday to Benito Aguas Atlahua, a member of the country's ruling coalition, who died in hospital on Monday night after being shot earlier in the day in Zongolica, Mexico.

Congressman Aguas Atlahua had been sworn into three months before being shot.

His death comes two months after the macabre beheading of a mayor in the southern state of Guerrero, just a week after he took up his role.
