 * Comment: He was kidnapped on January 2, but his corpse wasn't found until the 24th. However, sources do say he was killed the same day he was kidnapped. ComputerJA ( ☎  •  ✎  ) 22:24, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The article seems neutral and I detected no copyright or close paraphrasing issues. However, I don't think this hook will do because the article and source both state he was the first journalist to be kidnapped in 2015 but the date of his death is unclear, and other journalists were murdered in early January. How about:
 * ALT1 ... that Mexican journalist Moisés Sánchez Cerezo was abducted from his house on January 2, 2015, and his mutilated body found three weeks later? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:58, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * @Cwmhiraeth: Thank you for your review. Like I mentioned above, the investigation concluded that he was killed the same day he was kidnapped. When that was confirmed, this source backed that up. I don't see a problem with the original hook. He got a lot of press coverage because he was the first journalist kidnapped/killed in 2015. ComputerJA ( ☎  •  ✎  ) 19:34, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * DYK has been much criticised recently for claiming things are the "first" when they are only believed to be the first. In this instance, your article states that former Televisa reporter Jazmín Martínez Sánchez was killed on January 4th. You can't know for sure which of these deaths occurred first. I cannot approve the hook as it is, but if you want to add a qualifier such as "is believed to be the first", I might. Sorry to be difficult. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:49, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * @Cwmhiraeth: I'm not here to argue whether it's true that he was killed the same day he was kidnapped. That is what the investigation concluded and what reliable sources say. Please read Verifiability, not truth for more information. ComputerJA ( ☎  •  ✎  ) 22:09, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The relevant source states "Rodríguez [a suspect] alleges that the journalist was killed on the day he was abducted" and the headline states "Mexico: 2015’s first murder of journalist highlights need for effective investigations to combat impunity". I will bow out here as I am not happy to approve the hook based on this single source (#32). Someone else may be happy to approve it, or you could choose a different hook.

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Source #84 says that investigators concluded that he was killed the same day he was kidnapped. New review needed. ComputerJA (  ☎  •  ✎  ) 15:02, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
