Meanwhile, the Mexican drug war continues, offering up real-life Gothic horror.
The dismembered bodies of 17 men were found Sunday on a farm in a part of central Mexico disputed by violent drug cartels, officials said. The bodies were dumped near a highway in the town of Tizapan el Alto by the border between Jalisco and Michoacan, said Jalisco state prosecutor Tomas Coronado Olmos.
[T[he bodies were naked, mutilated and stacked with chains around their necks. They had been killed elsewhere and dumped on the property.
This stuff has been going on for a while, and energetically.
In May, authorities found 18 human heads and remains packed into two abandoned cars along the highway connecting Chapala and Guadalajara, Jalisco.
...More than 47,500 people have been killed in Mexican drug violence since December 2006, when President Felipe Calderon launched a military offensive against the cartels, according to the latest official figures. Some civil groups and activists say the figure is higher.
Infocult's been on the Mexican Gothic beat for a while. We've already recommended reading 2666.
