Police have discovered at least 33 human skulls buried in western Mexico, authorities said on Tuesday, the latest grisly find in a region that has suffered from increasing violence between warring drug cartels.
“So far 33 skulls have been found. All discovered in the same area,” said a government official in the Pacific state of Nayarit, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
It was not yet clear who the skulls belonged to or why they were buried in three shallow graves, the official said.
Investigations have been underway at the site in southern Nayarit, in the municipality of Xalisco, since . . .
