At least 242 bodies found in hidden graves in Mexico

‘The remains of at least 242 people have been discovered in mass graves in southeast Mexico, with the majority of the victims believed to be in their teens and early 20s.
Mexican authorities said on Friday that they had found the bodies in a total of 124 hidden graves over a six-month period in the country’s eastern state of Veracruz.
A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the graves contained “a lot of young women’s clothes, credentials, shoes and garments that look like they belong to inner-city kids.”
Other reports said many of the exhumed bodies had been found conjoined and headless, adding that most of the victims were students from high schools and universities between the ages of 14 and 25.’
