"MX" for Borderland Beat

The victims were killed and then piled together

The bodies of 4 men were located on Wednesday afternoon in the community of El Nacimiento in Salamanca, Guanajuato, very close to a military installation.

The victims were brutally tortured and had several firearm wounds. Security elements immediately cordoned off the area, diverting the passage of vehicles onto another nearby road since the bodies were still on the side of a road that connected to Tierra Fria, a community in Celaya Municipality.

Residents of El Nacimiento informed the police that the bodies were abandoned by cartel members in the morning and had been there for several hours. Assisstance from the Red Cross ambulance was requestedll however, the paramedics arrived only to confirm that the four victims no longer showed vital signs. All four men had the coup de grace wound on their skulls.

The four bodies were retrieved up by forensic personnel and taken to the nearest morgue for an official autopsy.

Last week, Borderland Beat reported the discovery of two headless bodies that were abandoned in Los Lobos, a rural community also located in Salamanca. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) took responsibility for the attack by leaving a written message at the scene.

The suspected CJNG plaza bosses in Salamanca are Emilio Rosas Martínez, alias 'El Manitas', and Conrado Alonso Landín Moreno, alias 'Landin' and/or 'Chelis'. As reported by Borderland Beat, they were reportedly appointed by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias 'El Mencho', in 2020 during a cartel restructuring.
