Mexican authorities are investigating the discovery of six severed human heads between the central states of Puebla and Tlaxcala, according to the Tlaxcala Prosecutor’s Office.
It said on X that the heads belonged to men, without providing further details about the case.
CNN has requested more information and is awaiting a response.
Gruesome killings by criminal groups are not uncommon in Mexico.
Earlier this year, authorities in Sinaloa state discovered 20 male bodies with gunshot wounds – including five that were decapitated – on a bridge over a federal highway.
