Brutal Murders in Acapulco

(Acapulco, Mexico) Concurrent with Mexican officials downplaying the impact of violence on tourism, five females linked to one beauty salon were found murdered Saturday with their throats slashed.

The semi-naked and bound bodies of two women and a 14-year-old girl were discovered in the salon in the early hours of Saturday morning. All three had their throats slashed.

Police later found the corpses of another two women with cut throats dumped in the streets. Mexican media said both victims worked at the beauty parlor. No motive was given for the killings.

Condolences to the families of the victims.
