The bodies of five women in Acapulco

The bodies of five women were found brutally murdered on Saturday in Acapulco, officials said. Two women and a child under 14 years were found beheaded, demidesnudas and tied hand and foot inside a beauty salon in the city on the Pacific coast in the early morning hours, police said. The bodies of the other two women were later found in different locations in Acapulco, also slaughtered.

Local media said the two women also worked in the same beauty salon downtown. There were no reports of a motive for the killings. Acapulco, famous mid-century to be a destination for Hollywood celebrities, is now a popular beach destination for Mexicans. But struggles for control of drug trafficking between rival drug gangs have led to increased violence.

Mexico is in the midst of a war between rival drug groups that last year left more than 15,000 dead.
