The naked bodies of eight decapitated men have been found dumped along roads in a Mexican city plagued by increasingly deadly conflict between rival drug gangs.
Six of the corpses were found along a highway leading out of the capital of the northern state of Durango, with their heads lying nearby, said the state attorney general's office.
The two other bodies were found in another street in Durango city.
One was identified as the remains of Gerardo Galindo Meza, the deputy director of a city prison who had been kidnapped on Monday.
Galindo's head was on a different street corner, accompanied by a threatening message signed by a drug gang, the attorney general's office said in a statement.
It was the second time this week that decapitated corpses have been found in Durango state. Eleven bodies were found on Monday, including six left opposite a school in the state capital.
