News Article Summary 4/15

In Morelia, Mexico, there were eight tortured bodies of young men found dumped on a roadside.  All of the men were found with a gunshot to the head.  The attorney general's office in Michoacan state said the bodies were found near the border of Jalisco state, where they were partly covered by bales of straw and some were half-clothed.  All of the victims were all between 22 and 25 years old.  Two of the men were wearing women's underwear and their fingernails were painted.  The meaning of that was unclear, but drug cartels are known to insult rivals by suggesting they are homosexuals.

On the same day, there was another body found in a pit in the northwestern Mexican state of Sinaloa.  Now the number of corpses found there is up to the number 13.  Apparently some of the bodies had been in the pits for six months.  All of the bodies are going through DNA tests and police are searching for the property owners where they were found by a farmer.
