De makabre massemord i den mexicanske by Tamaulipas fortsætter. Den seneste uge er der fundet en massegrav med 116 lig, skriver BBC World News tirsdag.

Forensic experts said the number of dead could rise even further as they continued to excavate the area.

The Mexican government says the Zetas drug cartel is behind the killings.

The discovery resembles last year’s find of 72 dead migrants, who were killed for refusing to join the ranks of the cartel which had abducted them.

Around 35.000 people have been killed in drug-related violence in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon declared war on the country’s drug cartels.
