Seventeen bodies found buried in backyards, under patios in Mexico

Volunteer searchers in northern Mexico led authorities to a series of grisly finds: 17 bodies or skeletal remains buried in the backyards and patios of houses in a low-income housing development.

The prosecutors office said the finds were made over the weekend at abandoned houses in the city of Ciudad Obregon.Forensic technicians excavate a field on a plot of land referred to as a cartel "extermination site" where burned human remains are buried, on the outskirts of Nuevo Laredo.The state prosecutors' office said the bodies would be subject to genetic and specialised forensics tests to identify them.

While it is more common for bodies to be buried in pits in vacant lots or outside of towns, some drug gangs in Mexico use abandoned or rented dwellings as execution chambers for kidnap victims or suspected rivals, and simply bury the bodies under the floors or in the yards before abandoning the dwellings.

Last week, volunteer searchers found 11 bodies in clandestine burial pits just a few miles from the US border.
