Acapulco sets grisly record as body count soars: "Police have found the bodies of 19 men, 15 of them decapitated, at a shopping mall in the beach resort city of Acapulco.

The discovery on Saturday was the largest single group of decapitation victims found in Mexico and brought the death toll from 24 hours of drug violence in the Pacific Coast resort to 27.

Police received a call alerting them to a burning vehicle near Plaza Sendero, a popular shopping centre. There they found a Nissan four-wheel-drive on fire, and four other abandoned vehicles, one with its motor running. They also found the beheaded corpses and, some distance away, their heads, piled together. Nearby, two white posters with black lettering bore messages from a drug cartel. The bodies were covered in sand and appeared to have been murdered elsewhere."
