| Guerrero: 18 Dead Found in Mass Grave |
| 2011-03-02 |
| A total of 18 dead bodies were found in a mass grave in central Guerrero state in Mexico Tuesday, according to Mexican news accounts. The find was made in the village of La Gavia in the San Miguel Totolapan municipality about 30 minutes from the city center of San Miguel Totolapan. San Miguel Totolapan is roughly 20 kilometers south of Mexico Highway 51 which connects Zihuatenejo on the coast and Iguala de la Independencia. A detachment of the Mexican 35th Military Zone as well as Proteccion Civil personnel were sent to the area to recover the remains. Unofficial reports say as many as 100 or more dead could be in the same area. Mass graves are not unknown in Guerrero state. A total of 77 corpses were found in a mining pit in Taxco last July which included a former prison warden. More recently 18 dead were found last November in a mass grave between Tunzingo and El Salto, who were part of a group 30 Michoacan tourists kidnapped the September before.
