The nine dismembered and mutilated bodies found by Mexican authorities along a highway in the state of Puebla is just one of 12 such crimes reported by officials in the state so far this year, according to the civil society group Causa en Común.
The organization, which works to improve Mexico's legal and law enforcement system and promote transparency, said that between January and February of this year crimes related to mutilation or dismemberment already tied the cases seen in all of 2024.
