The bodies of nine people, including four women and five men, were discovered this Sunday alongside the Cuacnopalan-Oaxaca superhighway, in the municipality of San José Miahuatlán, Puebla, in an area near the borders between the states of Oaxaca and Puebla. Some of the corpses had gunshot wounds and were dismembered, inside bags and scattered around a dark vehicle. The authorities present at the scene included members of the Mexican Army, National Guard, State Police, and personnel from the State Attorney General's Office, who have begun the corresponding investigations.
The bodies were taken to the municipal morgue in Tehuacán, where they currently remain unidentified. So far, the state authorities of Puebla have not provided official information about possible suspects or the motive behind this crime.
The secretary general of the Tlaxcala government, Luis Antonio Ramírez, mentioned that forensic tests have not yet been completed to confirm the identity of the found individuals. There is suspicion that this group of individuals located in the vehicle could correspond to the five missing persons reported by the Tlaxcala State Attorney General's Office since February 27 in Oaxaca.
Additionally, details have emerged regarding the reports of disappearances filed with the Oaxaca Attorney General's Office. Two cases have been reported, one on February 28 and another on March 1; the first report involves the disappearance of Brenda Mariel Salas Moya and Angie Lizet Pérez García, while the second concerns Noemí Yamiket López and Raúl González Lozano, whose whereabouts are unknown.
The Attorney General of Oaxaca, Bernardo Rodríguez Alamilla, has clarified that the State Attorney's Office of Puebla will be responsible for leading the investigations related to the discovery of these nine people. He added that so far, they have four reports of disappearances in their records.
