In western Mexico, researchers discovered more than a hundred bodies in a mass grave. In the town of El Salto, in the state of Jalisco, the remains of at least 113 people were discovered, local attorney general Gerardo Octavio Solís Gómez reported this Sunday.
So far 30 victims have been identified. The mass grave was discovered in early October. Since then, investigators have recovered the bodies and identified the victims.
35,000 homicides – every year
Around 60,000 people are missing in Mexico. Many are believed to have been kidnapped and killed by powerful criminal syndicates. The Latin American country has not been able to control its violence problem for years: in the last year alone, more than 35,000 people have died in Mexico.
Much violence has been perpetrated by criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking, kidnapping, and extortion. Most crimes are never solved.
