This is the best summary I could come up with:
Authorities in one of Mexico’s largest cities said Friday they have found seven bodies with five of them decapitated and another completely dismembered — with a message on each corpse — in a car left in the middle of traffic on a main expressway.
“On each of the bodies, we found hand-written messages written on paper, each one detailing the reason they were killed,” said Puebla state chief prosecutor Gilberto Higuera.
Discoveries of mutilated bodies dumped in public or hung from bridges with menacing messages have increased in Mexico in recent years as cartels and gangs seek to intimidate their rivals.
In January, hacked-up bodies were found in two vehicles abandoned on a bridge in Mexico’s Gulf coast state of Veracruz, prosecutors said.
Last July, a violent drug cartel was suspected of leaving a severed human leg found hanging from a pedestrian bridge in Toluca, just west of Mexico City.
In 2022, the severed heads of six men were reportedly discovered on top of a Volkswagen in southern Mexico, along with a warning sign strung from two trees at the scene.
