The decapitated bodies of five men have been discovered near a road in central Mexico , in a region dominated by the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel . The grisly find was reported on Sunday morning by drivers who spotted plastic bags containing human remains near the town of Ojuelos, Jalisco. Local police and forensic experts quickly arrived on the scene to investigate and identify the victims.
The state of Jalisco has been particularly hard-hit by cartel-related violence, with 1,415 recorded murders between January and September 2024, according to official figures. Mexico overall continues to struggle with rampant violence, with more than 30,000 homicides reported annually, making it one of the most violent countries in the world. This latest incident follows the assassination of Alejandro Arcos, mayor of Chilpancingo, Guerrero, last week, just days after he took office.
