Mass Grave Found In Mexican Field
Mass Grave Found In Mexican Field

The remains of more than 600 corpses have been unearthed in a field in northern Mexico, says a group representing the relatives of missing persons. Bones, teeth, pieces of clothing and shoes were discovered in the 16-hectare paddock in San Pedro, west of the Coahuila state capital of Saltillo, according to Grupo VIDA.
The organisations president Silvia Ortiz said on Saturday the remains had been handed over to authorities to be identified.
The ranches of San Pedro were the preferred mass killing sites for criminal groups active in the area years ago, when Torreon municipality was listed as one of the most violent cities in the world.
According to official data, almost 2000 people from the area have been missing since that time, mostly as a result of violence between drug cartels.
