Up to 45 bodies have been discovered at clandestine burial sites in Mexico. The mass graves are often used by drug cartels to hide the bodies of executed rivals or kidnap victims.
MEXICO CITY — Officials confirmed the discovery of up to 45 bodies at clandestine burial sites in Mexico, with an estimated 30 cadavers found in one spot in the northern state of Sonora and 15 buried under the patio of a multifamily house on the outskirts of Guadalajara in Jalisco state.
"The Warrior Searchers are not alone in their hope of finding their loved ones, the Sonora prosecutors' office is accompanying them," the office said. On Monday, prosecutors in Jalisco said they were led to the patio burial site in Zapopan, a suburb of Guadalajara, earlier this month by an anonymous tip that bodies might be buried there. Jalisco state prosecutor Gerardo Solis said that the process of finding the bodies of one woman and 14 men had taken more than a week and that the cadavers had apparently been buried weeks ago.
After declining some, homicides in Mexico have risen to higher levels than the previous peak year of 2011 and violence remains a serious problem. The Red Cross chapter for Guanajuato shuttered operations in the city of 270,000, which has been plagued by violence between fuel theft gangs due to its gasoline refinery, but later resumed ambulance service.
