SUSPECTED drug traffickers in Mexico killed and mutilated a man, then left his body parts around Acapulco to taunt authorities in the resort city, which has become plagued by drug violence.
Police yesterday received reports of an "abandoned human head" on a busy street. Officers answering the call also found a human torso stuffed into a bag.
Later, the dead man's legs and feet were discovered hanging from a downtown bridge, with a message from the alleged perpetrators to authorities.
Finally, on another bridge on the road to Mexico City, north of Acapulco, police found the victim's hands, bearing a note to state and local governments.
Acapulco is one of the tourist destinations most visited by Mexicans, but since last year it increasingly has been gripped by violence as warring drug cartels battle for control of criminal activities, mainly trafficking.
