| Rinsed through Babelfish and edited/rewritten for clarity More than 40 dead bodies have been found inside a vent of a mine in the ex- property of San Francisco Cuadra, in Taxco de Alarcón, according to Mexican legal authorities. Officials have so far extracted of six bodies and four heads, according to the General Office of the judge advocate general of Justice of Estado (PGJE) for the Mexican state of Guerrero. Guerrero Governor, Zeferino Torreblanca Galindo, described the find as something that reflects the crudity and the size of the problem of the drug trafficking and the organized crime in Mexico. Charge of the office of the PGJE, Albertico Guinto Sierra, affirmed that there are more than 40 bodies inside the vent. The current body count however is presumptive at this point, as no definitive count has been completed. Officials are trying to find other means of gaining access to the mine. Mexican officials want to remove the skulls from the victims, for the purposes of being able to determine genetic profiles. Some of the bodies inside the well are six to eight days old, but others are thought to be older. Guinto Sierra affirmed, through a call of the Secretariat of the National defense (SEDENA), he became aware that the interior of the vent contained human corpses, after the arrest of 15 people on Saturday. |
