| 2010-06-08 |
| Babelfish... etc Police authorities in the Mexican state of Guerrero announced they have concluded their work in counting and extracting bodies from a mine near Taxco, Guerrero Sunday with a total of 77 dead bodies. Of the 77 found, only six have been tentatively identified. Prison director Iguala Daniel Bravo Mota, 71, was one of the six identified. Of the 71 remaining unidentified, 20 have definitive tattoos and scars, three of which carry the mark of the cult Santa Muerte. Officials are attempting to gain recognition of those with marks by taking and posting photographs for any relatives of missing persons. Guerrero officials said the forensic work has stretched the resources to its limits, say officials. Many of the bodies are nearly completely decomposed while others are just skeletons. Officials are working to get DNA profiles of the remaining unidentified corpses. |
