Nine students who went missing late last month during a vacation in southern Mexico were found dismembered on the side of a highway this week.
Authorities found the deceased victims in a trunk of an abandoned car on the side a road on the border of Puebla and Oaxaca. A bag of severed hands was discovered nearby.
The victims, who were all from Mexico, were shot and tortured before being dismembered.
“Most of the victims have been identified: Angie Lizeth, Leslie, Brenda Mariel, Jacqueline Ailet, Noemi Yamileth, Raul Emmanuel, Ruben Antonio, and Rolando Armando,” The New York Post reported.
No suspects have been identified.
The New York Post reported:
The bodies of nine students who went missing on vacation in southern Mexico last month have been found dismembered by the side of a local highway — with a bag of hands nearby.
The group’s gruesome remains were discovered in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle and underneath a blood-covered tarp in San Jose Miahuatlan on the border of the Mexican states of Puebla and Oaxaca.
Four of the bodies were in the trunk, while the other five corpses were left under the tarp.
A bag with eight pairs of hands was also found at the scene, with two more hands left in the trunk, reported Periodico Central.
The bodies of the four women and five men, ages 19 to 30, all had bullet wounds and signs of torture, according to El Financiero.
The group, which was from Tlaxcala, was reported missing Feb. 27 when they traveled to the beaches in Oaxaca for a vacation.
The US State Department has issued a Mexico travel advisory to Americans due to violent crime such as kidnappings, carjackings, robbery and homicide.
