　麻薬ヤクザさんたちの仕業というのが通例。ふつうはもう少し陰のほうに置くんだと思ったが、こうニュースになるような大通りにやらかすのは、これは何か強いメッセージ性があるときのことなんでしょうね。

「National guard troops also attended the scene and found the remains wrapped in black plastic bags, the Jalisco state prosecutor's office said in a statement.

None of the victims' ages could be determined yet and an investigation has been launched, it added.

In Jalisco this year, official figures show that 1,415 people were murdered between January and September.」
