Mexico mass grave sites hints irregularities committed by local authorities in handling drug cases and unending violence that continues to rock the country. Recently, a huge grave site was uncovered in the central Mexican state of Morelos with 45 bodies unearthed. This was in the Pedro Amaro district in Jojutla City. Another mass grave was found last week in Veracruz with 47 skulls discovered in the town of Alvarado.

The recently discovered Mexico mass grave sites were rumored to be a result of the local governments' failed plans to control drug cases. The bodies found in Morelos had markings and tags that are being used by crime scene investigators. Morelos Attorney General Javier Perez said that an investigation would be done to determine the origins of the tags found, the Latin American Herald Tribune reported.

The bodies found in Mexico mass grave sites in Morelos were transferred to the Jardines del Recuerdo cemetery located in Cuautla. DNA specimens were also taken from families and relatives of missing people in the hopes of identifying their family members from the dead. A report from the Autonomous State University of Morelos (UAEM) in 2016 showed that there was questionable handling of the Telecingco case. Six bodies related to the case were found in the site.

Meanwhile, Mexico mass grave sites in eastern Mexico reveal that there was an unusual high number of dead bodies found in Veracruz. BBC reported that among the bodies that were dug in Veracruz were the remains of a family that were on vacation in 2016. Forensic experts are still investigating the identity of the bodies that were found here.

Veracruz state Attorney General Jorge Winckler said that the state is one huge grave site citing the 250 skulls that were discovered in Veracruz. Winckler also revealed that drug traffickers were partly to blame for Mexico mass grave sites since the state was used as dumping ground of dead bodies over the years.
