Organized crime leaves coolers with human remains in northern Mexico

This Wednesday, Mexican criminal groups left two coolers with human remains of two unidentified men, according to authorities in Nuevo León, a state in northern Mexico.

Police sources close to the investigation established that local residents reported the presence of the containers, abandoned outside a plastics business in the municipality of San Nicolás de los Garza, a suburb of Monterrey, the largest city in northern Mexico.

In one of the coolers, the remains of a man were located, who was wearing blue denim shorts and a black t-shirt.

The second victim was also a man wearing blue shorts, no shirt and another probable light blue garment.

The events caused an intense police mobilization of municipal agents, as well as the State Investigation Agency (AEI) and experts in charge of collecting evidence.

Given the facts, officers cordoned off the site while the first investigations were carried out.

The coolers are white and on the front display the initials of an organized crime group.

More mutilated corpses

In recent months, the level of violence by organized crime groups has worsened in Nuevo León, where just on September 16 in that same municipality a mutilated body appeared on López Mateos Avenue.

Also on August 24, in the municipality of Salinas Victoria, three bodies were found hanging from a pedestrian bridge and three heads were later found in an ice chest.

Nuevo León ranks tenth in absolute homicides in the country, registering 842 in the first eight months of 2023, when Mexico as a whole reported more than 20,000.
