Police find 11 bodies dumped by a highway in southern Mexico and 4 more in the resort of Acapulco

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Prosecutors in the southern Mexico state of Guerrero have found 11 bodies, including two of minors, dumped by a highway. The bodies were apparently left in an abandoned pickup truck on the main thoroughfare of the city of Chilpancingo, which has been the scene of gruesome drug gang violence. Two rival cartels are fighting for control of the area. In early October, the city’s mayor was killed and beheaded just a week after he took office. Also on Thursday, authorities in the nearby resort of Acapulco said four bodies, all strangled to death, were found in a car there.
