MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican authorities in the violence-plagued southwestern state of Guerrero stated they were examining a gruesome massacre that occurred in a part of a remote desert where 2 competing criminal groups have actually been defending control.
Authorities private investigators had actually discovered 5 burnt bodies stacked onto a burnt automobile when they got here in Buenavista de los Hurtado on Friday, the state chief law officer stated in a declaration shared late on Saturday.
Pointing out video shared by supposed members of the Familia Michoacana on social networks and interviews with unnamed sources in the location, regional media reported that 30 individuals had actually passed away after a drone attack.
In the video shot in the desert, greatly armed guys worn military clothes were revealed stacking bodies – some naked, their clothing spread around the ground – on the hood and the back of a red pickup filled with bullet holes.
A few of the guys appeared to have limbs cut off and a minimum of one had a head missing out on.
A severed head is revealed being organized atop the human stack by one male while another, holding the electronic camera and shooting the pickup from all sides, states in heavy Mexican swear words to “send out more.”
Because being published on Friday night, the video acquired 3.1 million views on X, the platform previously called Twitter.
Reuters was not able to separately confirm the video, however a number of regional media later on released widely-shared videos revealing what seemed the exact same pickup and burned bodies.
Mexican authorities in the declaration stated they knew a “conflict in between the criminal groups of Familia Michoacana and Los Tlacos, which have a running disagreement for control of the location.”
Authorities private investigators in the location discovered no proof of other criminal offenses, the declaration stated, including that villagers had actually decreased to provide DNA samples that would permit the recognition of the remains and advance examinations.
Reuters was not able to get comment from villagers.
