MEXICO CITY - At least 12 bodies have been found in four graves in Mexico’s coastal resort of Cancun, a top official said.

The 12 people “died of suffocation and were found with their hands and feet bound, with signs of torture,” Francisco Alor, state attorney of Quintana Roo state, was quoted as saying by Xinhua.

At least three of the bodies were cut open after death, he said.
