Overview

• State police secured the site as Guerrero prosecutors carried out forensic work, transferred the remains to the Chilpancingo morgue and opened an investigation.
• Security sources identified the dead as Ana Perla, 22; Víctor Israel, 19; Alfonso; and María Ignacia, noting the first two had been reported missing on August 21 and 23.
• The bodies were dismembered and the heads set on a table beside a banner warning against selling or consuming “crystal,” according to on-scene reports.
• Motorists alerted authorities around 7:00–7:30 a.m. near the Lodo Grande/Xochimilco turnoff on the Chilapa–Tixtla road in Chilapa de Álvarez.
• A short video circulated earlier showed the four saying they sold synthetic drugs and worked at the Chilapa market, and local reporting ties the area to the group Los Ardillos.
