3 headless bodies found in car in Mexico

CULIACAN, Mexico — Police have found the decapitated bodies of three men inside a burned-out car in the drug gang-plagued Mexican state of Sinaloa. The heads had been put on the vehicle’s hood.

The Sinaloa state attorney general’s office says one of the burned bodies was in the driver’s seat, another in the back seat and the third was in the trunk.

Investigators found the car Monday in the city of Angostura, near the Pacific coast.

The office’s statement provided no information on possible suspects or the motive for the killings.

Sinaloa has long been considered the home state of many of Mexico’s most powerful drug lords.
