Authorities find 19 bodies piled in a dump truck in a cartel-dominated area of southern Mexico | Cannabis Law Report

Authorities said Monday they have found 19 bodies piled in and around a dump truck in a cartel-dominated area of southern Mexico, near the border with Guatemala.

The federal public safety department said the men’s bodies were found in a truck abandoned on a rural road near the town of La Concordia, in southern Chiapas state.

The bodies of fourteen men were piled in the bed of the dump truck, two more were found in the cab, two were just outside the truck and another body was found about 100 yards (meters) away.

The department said the victims were shot to death, and included at least six men carrying Guatemalan identity documents.

It said the killings appear to be related to the bloody turf battles between the Sinaloa drug cartel and a rival gang known as the Cartel of Mexico and Guatemala. The latter gang may have ties to Sinaloa’s arch rival, the Jalisco cartel.
