Mexico violence: Remains of 166 found in Veracruz mass grave
6 September 2018
The remains of at least 166 bodies have been found in a mass grave in Mexico's eastern state of Veracruz.
State prosecutor Jorge Winckler said that the remains had been there for at least two years.
The exact location is not being disclosed for security reasons, he added.
Drug traffickers have used Veracruz as a dumping ground for their victims for many years. In March 2017, 250 skulls were found in another mass grave there.
