The remains of three dismembered men were found on the side of Federal highway 180, on the Boca del Rio – Paso del Toro section, at the La Manga football stadium in the municipality of Medellin de Bravo.

The events were recorded this morning, at 06:00 am, Police were immediately notified and arrived at the scene minutes later to verify the events and cordon off the area. Next to the bodies were two narco mantas with two different messages.

The first one said, ” this happened to me for killing taxi drivers and stealing at the Port of Veracruz:, and the second, ” I am a kidnapper, this happened to me when I went to collect the ransom at the Port of Veracruz, Port of Veracruz is clear of kidnappers and extortion”.

The bodies had been transported to this site in black rubbish bags and emptied on the side of the road, to be exposed to any traffic that passed the location. The three bodies were dismembered with the arms, legs and heads removed from the torsos.

The remains of the three alleged offenders were removed by staff of the Institute of Forensic Medicine, after the Public Prosecutors Office had attended and recorded the crime scene.
