Mexican authorities discovered the mutilated bodies of six people on Thursday in a vehicle in southern Mexico.
It’s the latest gruesome discovery in a country gripped by gang-related violence. Officials say the severed heads of six men were discovered on top of a Volkswagen abandoned on a busy boulevard in Chilapa de Alvarez, along with a sign strung up from two trees.
The sign read, “In Chilapa, selling crystal, kidnapping, extortion, and stealing are strictly prohibited. This will happen to anyone who messes around.”
This type of “communication” is becoming the staple as mutilated bodies dumped in public or hung from bridges have increased in Mexico in recent years as criminal gangs dole out their own “Capital Punishment” to intimidate and antagonize their rivals.
More than 340,000 people have been killed across the country in a wave of bloodshed since the government deployed the army to fight drug cartels in 2006.
Last weekend 20 people, including an American mother, were killed at a cockfight in the town of Las Tinajas, Michoacan state in Mexico.
