Mexican investigators find burned and decapitated bodies that may be related to the case of kidnapped youths, one filmed being forced to kill others.
Mexico kidnapping: Two Americans are killed and two are rescued after being caught in crossfire in a violent border city. It has sparked international tension.López Obrador played a recording of the previous day’s news briefing Thursday, in which no distinct question could be heard. Still, the president gave little attention to the case Thursday, spending about a minute saying the killings were “very regrettable” while spending far more time discussing baseball.
Officials in Jalisco said they were investigating the grisly video but also called for federal prosecutors to take over the case becauseappeared to be involved. López Obrador said that decision was up to the federal attorney general. The most horrifying thing about the video is not just the pair of bound, inert bodies seen lying in the foreground during the recording. It is the fact that the youth seen bludgeoning and apparently decapitating another victim appears to be himself the fourth member of the kidnapped group of friends.
A fifth member of the group might be the body found by police inside a burned-out car in the area earlier.The young men went missing Friday while on a trip to attend a festival in the city of Lagos de Moreno, which is in an area known for cartel violence. Investigators raided a series of brick and concrete buildings on a ranch Wednesday and found bloodstains on the floor and shoes scattered about.
“This makes one think the five youths were there at this ranch,” the state prosecutor’s office said in a statement Wednesday.
