32 dismembered bodies found in Mexico’s bloodiest state
The dismembered remains of 32 people have been discovered in an abandoned house in Mexico’s cartel-ravaged region of Guanajuato, according to local officials.
Body parts were found in plastic bags in a shallow grave under the property near the city of Irapuato, some 160 miles north of Mexico City, just months after 17 bodies were found in the same city, according to local reports.

So far, 15 of the victims have been officially identified through “highly complex forensic techniques,” the Guanajuato prosecutor’s office said in a statement Monday.
The remains were discovered during a search for missing people in Guanajuato, Mexico’s deadliest state, which is ravaged by gang turf wars linked to the ongoing conflict between the Jalisco New Generation cartel and the Santa Rosa de Lima gang.
Relatives of missing people, who formed the “Hasta encontrarte” (“Until I find you”) collective, visited the site after the news broke Monday.
“We hope to find our loved ones,” a woman who requested anonymity for safety reasons told Agence France-Presse.
“It’s been many years and we still know nothing. When these mass graves are found, we want to be present.”
Guanajuato saw more than 3,100 murders last year, over 10% of total homicides nationwide, according to official figures.
It also had around 3,600 missing persons cases, out of the national figure of more than 120,000.
The state has been plagued by further violence this year.
Last month, a local official was shot dead while attending an amateur basketball game.
A shooting at a neighborhood party in Irapuato last month also saw 11 people killed and around 20 others injured. In May, 17 bodies were discovered in a different abandoned house in the same city.
That same month, seven people were killed, including children, after gunmen tied to the Santa Rosa de Lima gang opened fire.
In February this year, five women and three men were shot dead in the street.
The previous month, security forces clashed with gunmen, killing 10 suspected criminals.
