The Yucatan Peninsula was shocked after the authorities have discovered the decapitated bodies of twelve Mexicans who might have been involved in a gangland execution. The incident left the popular tourist destination in shock, as the bodies had signs of torture.

Eleven of the male bodies were discovered one on top of each other yesterday in a suburb of Merida, the capital city of Yucatan State. The corpses were covered with blankets, but their heads couldn’t be found until the dawn. Some of the bodies had their legs tide up and one of them was stripped naked.

The twelfth decapitated body was found in Buctzotz, a town 45 miles northeast of the capital of Yucatan State. A whole day of violence trapped Mexico. Drugs, gang murders and kidnappings from the recent months endangered 27,000 lives, more than the whole of 2007.

Nationwide protests will be showed off on the streets of Mexico tomorrow. Kidnappings in Colombia and Iraq together with the horrifying finding of the twelve decapitated bodies will be claimed an explanation through the acts of protest of the residents.

The executions were “an isolated incident and not part of a strategy to destabilize the state,” Jose Guzman, a Yucatan state prosecutor, stated about the terrifying incident. Still, Mexicans say that police corruption tries to hide the violent incident in the state. They hope to make the government fights against these illegal happenings through tomorrow’s protests.
