Authorities found 32 bodies and 9 severed heads at an outlaw camp in Guerrero

Posted by DD from material at CNN, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and Borderland Beat archives

On Thursday, Nov. 24, soldiers and police fanned out Friday across Guerrero state in a new security operation , chasing a wounded gang leader,“El Tequilero,” and trying to quell a wave of violence that included the discovery of hidden graves holding dozens of bodies in a camp where gunmen also stored the severed heads of nine rivals in a cooler.

A drug gang's camp had been found by the authorities on the previous Tuesday near   a hill in the village of Pochahuixco, part of the municipality of Zitla, a region beset by turf wars between drug cartels..

Acting on a tip, soldiers and police found a man who'd been kidnapped and held captive at the camp. During their first sweep, investigators found seven bodies buried in several hidden graves. They found a cooler with human remains inside, several abandoned vehicles and AK-47 and AR-15 ammunition clips.  By Thursday, the tally had grown to 9 severed heads in coolers and 32 bodies found in at least 17 graves.

The Guardian reported that residents of the community of Tixtla, Guerrero found nine decapitated bodies on Monday along a highway. Prosecutors are looking into whether the nine heads found in Zitlala correspond to these bodies.

The Washington Post reported that  "the state has been riven, not just by the killings, but by the kidnapping of about a dozen people in the town of Ajuchitlan. Residents there announced they would create a vigilante force to look for the kidnap victims, an idea that threatened to create yet another armed group.

"The Ajuchitlan residents were apparently kidnapped last week by a fugitive gang leader known as “El Tequilero,” who was believed to be wounded and hiding out with his kidnap victims in the mountains".

On Tuesday, November 22, Borderland Beat reporter "Valor" reported in a story about the gang, "Los Tequileros", and it's namesake "El Tequitero" terrorizing the mayors of the municipalities in the area as part of their war with La Familia for the drug corridor that connects the sierra and the Tierra Caliente region of Guerrero with Michoacán and the State of Mexico. 

 In addition to the murder of several mayors in the region,  Los Tequileros are attributed with the kidnapping of 21 men in the municipality of Arcelia in January 2016.

 The criminal organization emerged as one of the armed wings of the Guerreros Unidos Cartel in northern Guerrero.  

The largely rural, impoverished state had 1,832 reported homicides in the first 10 months of 2016. If that rate continues unabated, Guerrero would be on track to have a homicide rate of about 60 per 100,000.

That would rival the recent peak year of violence in the state, in 2012, when there were about 68 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.

“The large cartels have become small criminal gangs, and they share one characteristic: the extreme and irrational use of violence,” Robert Alvarez, Guerrero Coordinating Group spokesman, told MVS Radio this week. 

The Guerrero Governor, Gov. Hector Astudill, condemned what he has called the wave of “barbarism and savagery,” and his office called the situation “a public disturbance caused by organized crime.”

    1. Stop your non sense lol cjng and la familia are deep in guerrero especially in Tierra caliente area. Guerrerenses can't compete with michoacanos. CJNG and la familia are getting more territory in guerrero while they focus on low rojos and tequileros atracting all the heat. CJNG are mostly michoacanos tonto

    5. The USA notices everything but the USA is not the police of the world. Every country should take the necessary steps to solve their own problems. The USA is not a super hero they have problems of their own too.

    6. You are right..so the US picks and chooses it's battles carefully..If it doesn't benefit the US in some form or fashion they won't interfere..In the case of mexico silence is how they gain the most.

  8. Call Duterte, The Filipino Punisher!
    When Duterte was elected mayor of Davoa city it was in worse shape than any Mexican city--murders, robberies, rapes by drug gangs, communist gangs and muslim extremist gangs.
    It is now one of the most peaceful cities in the world and very economically prosperous!
    Duterte is now Prez and getting the Philippines right!
    Mexico needs an honest, strongman and it can return to security and prosperity!
    Fact!
    Fact!

  9. I have noticed that when Mexican Americans get killed, kidnapped or otherwise it usually never makes the headlines. But if is was a White person it sure does. I live in Mexico and I am White. It is as if the Government and the Newspapers do not care. I know that as a White American it really frustrates me that the USA is worried about the carnage more across the ocean then here in Mexico.

    1. 7:28 welcome to "the ojos rojos society", dig and you shall find all you want, there is a lot to learn and we are open day and night, but mexican legislators are working to end the internet as we know it and supress problem information, and the repeating it all over the world, or put people in prison and fine their arses in a manner that they become lifers in prison.
      They were much happier when nobody knew of the white house of epn, for example, or mexico 68 or ayotzinapa...
