Prosecutors in Mexico's southern Guerrero state say the strangled bodies of four men and two women have been found piled up on a street in Acapulco.
Prosecutors in Mexico say they have found the bodies of four men and two women piled up on a street in the Pacific resort city of Acapulco. The victims, who were strangled and had their hands tied behind their backs, were discovered late Monday. The killings remain under investigation and their identities have not been released.
In early April, Eduardo Chávez, the head of municipal traffic police in Acapulco, was found shot dead in the city. Drug cartels in Mexico often force bus and taxi drivers to work for them and may have been angered by traffic stops of such vehicles, the AP reports. Videos reportedly posted on social media in March showed drug gang enforcers brutally beating bus drivers in Acapulco for failing to act as lookouts for the cartel.
