Severed Heads Found in Guatemala

  GUATEMALA CITY – Found inside a bag on Monday were two heads that had presumably belonged to two minors whose decapitated bodies were found over the weekend down a ravine in the Guatemalan capital, authorities said.

The heads were found on bare ground in a gully that joins La Comunidad in Zone 10 to Las Charcas in Zone 11, paramedics said in postings on social media.

Found in the same area Saturday, stuffed in plastic bags and covered with sheets, were the decapitated bodies of the two youths.

Authorities have not yet established a motive for the crime.

This is not the first such case in this area of the capital in recent months. On Sept. 17, the bodies of an adult woman and a little girl were also found in Las Charcas. The victims were dismembered. The investigation into that crime is still ongoing.

Guatemala will end 2015 with almost 6,000 murders, or an average of 16 a day, thus maintaining one of the world’s highest homicide rates with 35 for every 100,000 inhabitants.
