A pile of 150 skulls that sparked a murder probe after their discovery in a Mexican cave were actually the remains of women sacrificed to the Aztec gods thousands of years ago.
The historic find was made close to the Guatemalan border in an area plagued with violent smuggling gangs.
Investigators thought the decapitated skulls were unfortunate victims of ruthless local gangsters and launched a probe to uncover how the remains got there, the Daily Star reports.
