Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat
Early morning yesterday in the Coahuila capital of Saltillo, 4 men were found hanging from the Serape Bridge.
Rumors spread that narco messages were found with the bodies and the vehicle with Texas license plates said to be connected to the killings. Unofficial reports said that the messages were signed by Z40 leader of the Los Zetas cartel and that he took responsibility for the killings.
At a press conference later in the day the PGJE spokesman was asked about the rumors and although he did not confirm the rumor he also did not reject the notion.
Today in four points of the city narco mantas (banners) were displayed not only off the very same bridge the bodies were found hanging, but at three others.
The messages were the same, all signed by Z40, and claiming that the killings were not the action of the Zetas, and claims that at least two of the dead worked for him.
What the exact manta text states is unknown at this time, but I will update as that becomes known. If anyone knows of the text please send to me in comments or to my email.
