MEXICO CITY — Two decapitated bodies were found inside a burning SUV early Wednesday at the entrance to one of Mexico’s most luxurious malls, feeding fears that drug violence is infiltrating privileged realms previously thought safe.
Police recovered the mutilated bodies before dawn off a toll highway at a shopping- mall entrance in the heart of the Santa Fe district — a haven for global corporations, diplomats and the wealthy. The heads and a threatening message signed by the drug gang Mano con Ojos (Hand With Eyes) were dumped a few yards away, Mexico City prosecutors said.
Hours later, the government released a drug-war body count of more than 47,000 victims in five years, echoing independent death tolls tabulated by Mexican media.
