The new governor of the Mexican state of Puebla, Martha Erika Alonso and her husband, Senator Rafael Moreno Valle have died.
The couple were killed on Monday in a helicopter crash in central Mexico.
Martha Erika’s death came just days after being sworn into office.
The Puebla governor reportedly died in the crash, as did the pilot, co-pilot and a fifth passenger.
Monday’s accident happened shortly after the aircraft took off from the state capital of Puebla.
The 45-year-old was a member of the centre-right PAN party.
