Bodies Found in San Miguel Xoxtla Were Executed in Tlaxcala

The Secretary of Public Security of Puebla, Francisco Sánchez González, confirmed that the bodies found in San Miguel Xoxtla were executed in the state of Tlaxcala and subsequently abandoned in Puebla territory. 'Unfortunately, they were dumped here in Xoxtla. They were very close to Tlaxcala and were left on this side,' he stated. He indicated that, to date, it is only known that they are two men, although the conditions in which they were found have not been specified, after it was reported that the remains might have been beheaded. The discovery was recorded Monday morning, when state and municipal police responded to a 9-1-1 emergency call about three bags with apparent human remains located next to the Xoxtla-Taltenango road. Upon locating them, authorities implemented a security perimeter and cordoned off the area to preserve evidence, while elements of the Secretariat of National Defense (Defense), the National Guard (GN), and the SSP reinforced surveillance in the area. Subsequently, personnel from the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) carried out the corresponding procedures, including the removal of the bodies, as part of the ongoing investigations. Despite having been presented since 2025, the initiative to regulate annexes in Puebla's capital continues to be stalled, acknowledged the head of the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP), Francisco Sánchez González, who emphasized that it is a matter that concerns the State due to the risks these spaces represent. The official reported that there are currently 246 annexes identified in the Puebla capital, so he insisted on the need to establish stricter supervision mechanisms to prevent them from being used for criminal purposes. In this regard, he detailed that he recently met with the president of the Security Commission, Andrés Villegas, with the aim of unblocking the initiative that has been pending since last year. Sánchez González emphasized that to achieve effective regulation, coordinated participation from the secretariats of Health, Governance, and Public Security is required to ensure the proper functioning of these centers. 'Since last year, we have been promoting this initiative to participate in supervision. An investigation is currently being conducted to determine their identity and achieve recognition.'
