在3月8日凌晨,在墨西哥東北部科阿韋拉州的首府薩爾蒂約市,警方抵達一個犯罪現場,有人在這座高架橋下發現五具屍體。在墨西哥,彼此敵對的犯罪組織和販毒集團時常用這種公開展示的方式向對方釋放訊息。兇手在屍體旁留下一塊布條,但上面的訊息並不明確。自從墨國政府2006年開始使用軍隊對抗販毒集團以來,該國已至少有六萬人因此遭到殺害。

Police arrive at a scene where five bodies had been discovered under an overpass in Saltillo, Coahuila, northeast Mexico, in the early hours of 8 March. Rival organized-crime groups and drug cartels in Mexico often send messages to each other through such public displays. A narcomanta ('narco-banner') was found beside the bodies, but the meaning of the message on it was not clear. At least 60,000 people have been killed in Mexico since the government began employing military forces against drug cartels in 2006.
