Searchers in Mexico find 27 corpses, many of them chopped to pieces, in clandestine graves in the border city of Reynosa.
Some of the corpses were buried so recently that bits of skin with tattoos remained, and that has allowed relatives to identify four of the bodies, searchers said. But many were hacked into a half-dozen pieces.said clandestine burial site was located relatively close to the center of Reynosa. The spot is only about 4 miles from the border.
González said some of the 16 burial pits contained two or three bodies, and that the clandestine burial site may have been used by gangs as recently as a month or two ago. Some were covered by only 1 1/2 feet of earth.Drug and kidnapping gangs use such sites to dispose of the bodies of their victims.
The search group said an anonymous tip led searchers to the burials at a lot near an irrigation canal late last week. “People are starting to shake off their fear and have begun reporting” the body dumping grounds, González said. She acknowledged that some tips may come from “people who worked there and are no longer in that line of work.
The anonymous caller had given a volunteer searcher a tip about a supposed clandestine burial site near a roadway in Tlajomulco, Jalisco. The cartel buried improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, on the road and then detonated them as a police convoy passed. The IEDS were so powerful they destroyed four vehicles, injured 14 people and lefts craters in the road.
