The severed heads of ten people have been found in Mexico in a suspected outbreak of drug violence, authorities said today.

The heads were lined up on a street outside a slaughterhouse in Teloloapan, about 155 miles south of Mexico City.

The bodies have not been found, according to the Guerrero state attorney general’s office.

Seven of the heads belonged to men and three to women, all aged between 20 and 35 years.
