Seven heads found just south of Guadalajara

The search for seven headless bodies continued in Jalisco this week, following the recent discovery of seven severed heads at a property close to the Guadalajara-Colima highway.

Agents from the Fiscal General’s Office (FGE) found the heads and other human remains in an advanced state of decomposition in black bags at a house in the municipality of Zacoalco de Torres late on July 3.

They were led to the property after arresting three suspects for the murder of two men in Colonia Los Cajetes in Zapopan last week. The detainees confessed to being members of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion and disclosed the location of the safe house where the heads were found.

Officers from the FGE, the State Civil Protection Unit and the Jalisco Fire Department were still scouring the area with the use of heavy machinery this week, but none of the bodies have been located to date.
