MEXICO CITY: The Mexican authorities found four beheaded bodies in the eastern state of Michoacan, the state's Public Security Directorate said on Wednesday.
A message of a criminal group called The Resistance was left next to the bodies, which were found at the feet of a monument in the center of Apatzingan, an area where clashes are frequent among feuding drug gangs.
A total of 16 beheaded bodies have been found this year in Apatzingan, 350 km to Mexico City.
Drug-related crime has left more than 15,000 dead in the past three years in Mexico, despite a nationwide clampdown on growing violence which involved some 50,000 government troops.
