Searchers have found 27 corpses in clandestine graves in the Mexican border city of Reynosa, across from McAllen, Texas, and many of them were hacked to pieces, volunteer searchers said Wednesday.

Some of the corpses were buried so recently that bits of skin with tattoos remained, and that has allowed relatives to identify four of the bodies, searchers said. But many were hacked into a half-dozen pieces.

González said some of the 16 burial pits contained two or three bodies, and that the burial site may have been used by gangs as recently as a month or two ago. Some were covered by only 1 1/2 feet of earth.
