Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico - On Thursday, Mexican Guerrero state authorities of the ministry announced the discovery of 18 bodies so far in a massive grave near Acapulco. Fernando Monreal, Chief of the Guerrero Ministry Police confirmed they have found a grave with remains believed to be from the missing 22 Michoacan tourists that were kidnapped at gunpoint on September 30, in Acapulco.
The 22 men reported missing were identified as Eugenio Calderón Melgarejo, Antonio Ortiz Chávez, Octaviano Ortiz Chávez, Eleuterio Servín Cortés, Efraín Cortés Rangel, Juan Jesús Chávez Ortiz, Héctor Calderón Pintor, Rigoberto Ortiz Chávez, Víctor Manuel Corona Mora, Juan Pablo Calderón Ortiz, Eduardo Ortiz Chávez, Pedro Casimiro Arévalo, Javier, aka, “N,” Juan Serrano Ortiz, Celso Rafael Zambrano Ramos, Fernando Antonio Ortiz, Sergio Zambrano Ramos, Alejandro Zambrano Ramos, Jonathan Sánchez García, Felipe Arriola Godínez, Adrián Pérez Sánchez and Pedro Cancino Arreola.
Monreal says, at least 18 bodies have been dug up at the Tuncingo cemetery in the municipality of Acapulco. Authorities continue to dig around the area where they were found. The bodies of two men were found on Tuesday at the Tuncingo gravesite with a message from the Cartel Independiente de Acapulco (C.I.D.A.) leading mexican ministry police, investigators from the Guerrero State Attorney General's Office and the 9th Regiment Military Police to the gravesite.
The message read "Stop killing innocent people" and was signed C.I.D.A. and also provided the aliases of seven suspects involved in the killings. They were identified as Tilde, Sostenes, Diego, Turibio, Picacho, Chaparro, and El Compadre, according to authorities.
A video posted Wednesday on the Internet by Narco Trafico en Mexico, a news blog shows two men sitting in front of some stairs with signs of a beating who confessed to participating in the killings. One of them said, they were ordered to kill them because of an ongoing fued with the Michaocan Family Cartel. The victims were being taken to Cuernavaca, but the suspects couldn't move them due to the military road blocks. A military dragnet searching for the 22 kidnapped tourists forced the suspects to take the victims to a small village of Los Tres Palos Tuncingo cemetery near Acapulco and executed them after getting orders from Carlos Montemayor to do so. One of the suspects said that after killing them they buried them. Montemayor was identified by authorities as the father-in-law of Edgar Valdez Villareal, aka, "La Barbie." The suspects in the video explained that the Michaocan Family Cartel had taken over the Altamirano territory leading to reprisals. They didn't say, if the victims were affiliated with la Familia Michoacana. The suspects were then killed allegedly by the C.I.D.A. and their bodies later dumped in the Tuncingo cemetery where they could be discovered by the mexican military.
