墨西哥城, MexicoThe remains of 59 在墨西哥中部一个地区的秘密坟墓中发现了尸体，这是近年来发生的一些最高程度的毒品暴力事件, national authorities said on Wednesday.
The grim discovery was made in the Salvatierra municipality of Guanajuato state, where the homicide rate has surged amid a raging turf war between rival drug cartels.
至少 10 of the corpses were women and most of the bodies belonged to very young people, even teenagers, according to Karla Quintana, head of Mexico’s National Search Commission.
Alarm raised by relatives of missing persons led to the largest discovery of clandestine graves in Guanajuato, she told a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.
“We have more possible positive developments, with which we will continue working here until we have finished the job,” 她说.
Guanajuato recorded 2,250 homicides between January and August of this year, according to official data, a more than 25% increase over the same period last year.
