Five charred bodies have been found in a village in southern Mexico, an area where rival gangs operate in competition for the control of drug trafficking routes, according to the authorities of the country.
The bodies were found yesterday Tuesday, in the village of Las Tunas in the state of Guerrero, where the police, the army and medical examiners were deployed, according to the prosecutor's office, which clarified that the victims have not yet been identified.
Images believed to show a clash between thugs that broke out on Monday and left several victims have been circulated on social networking sites.
The village of Las Tunas is administratively under the municipality of San Miguel Totolapan, where executioners had murdered around 20 people in broad daylight in October 2020.
The state of Guerrero is known both for its Pacific beaches, which are a magnet for tourists, and for the violence of the cartels, which vie for control of opium poppy crops and drug trafficking routes, mainly to the US market.
In Mexico, according to official figures, more than 420,000 murders have been committed since the so-called “war on drugs” was declared in late 2006 by then-president Felipe Calderon, with the deployment of the armed forces inside the country to crack down on the cartels. .
