Mexican authorities investigate massacre after rival criminal groups clash

Mexican authorities in the violence-plagued southwestern state of Guerrero said they were investigating a gruesome massacre that took place in a part
of a remote desert where two rival criminal groups have been fighting for control.
Police investigators had found five burned bodies stacked onto a burned vehicle when they arrived in Buenavista de los Hurtado on Friday, the state attorney general said in a statement shared late on Saturday.
Citing footage shared by alleged members of the Familia Michoacana on social media and interviews with unnamed sources in the area, local media reported that 30 people had died after a drone attack.
In the footage shot in the desert, heavily armed men dressed in military clothing were shown piling bodies – some naked, their clothes scattered around the ground – on the hood and the rear of a red pickup riddled with bullet holes.
Some of the men appeared to have limbs cut off and at least one had a head missing.
