Officials said the Mexico City – Four decapped bodies were found hanging from a bridge in the capital of Sinaloa, Western Mexico, on Monday, which was part of a bounce of cartel violence, killing 20 people in less than a day.
A bloody war for control between two groups of powerful Sinaloa Cartel has turned the city of Kyuliyakan into a sub -center of cartel violence as the conflict exploded between the two groups last year: Los Chapitos and La Myza.
Dead body appears scattered in Kaliyakan on a daily basis, houses are closed during waves of regular violence with bullets, businesses shutters and schools. The masked youth on the motorcycle look at the main route of the city.
On Monday, Sinaloa state prosecutors said that four bodies were found hanging from the freeway bridge to get out of the city, their heads were in a nearby plastic bag.
On the same highway on Monday, officials said they found 16 more male victims with gunshot wounds, packed in a white van, one of which was decapped. Officials said the bodies were abandoned with a note, apparently from one of the cartel factions, although the contents of the note were not immediately revealed.
Feliciano Castro, a spokesperson of the Sinaloa government on Monday condemned violent murders and said that there is a need to investigate their strategy to deal with the organized crime with the “quantity” of the violence seen to the authorities.
Castro said, “The military and police forces are working together to re -establish the total peace in Sinalo.”
However, in the western Mexico state, however, authorities have lost control of the level of violence.
In September last year, there was a bloody power struggle between two rival groups in September, pushing the city to a standstill.
The war for regional control was triggered by a dramatic abduction of the leader of one of the groups by a son of the infamous Capo Joquin “L Chapo” Gujman, which then conveyed him to US authorities via a private aircraft.
Since then, the intense battle between heavy armed groups has become new to citizens in Kulikan, a city that had survived the worst condition of Mexico over the years, in large parts because Sinaloa Cartel maintained such complete control.
On Monday, in South -East Mexico, a priest was left to his house in Vilahrmosa, then. Thensco Suba said in a statement that Rev Hector Alejandro Perez was on his way to meet someone who was ill when he was shot. Suba said that Perez lost a lot of blood and put internal injuries in a “very serious” condition.
