Twitter Reporting 3 Bodies in El Chante August 26

This post on Twitter likely explains all those sirens head west on the carretera this morning:

Tres cadáveres ejecutados fueron localizados esta mañana por carretera de Chapala a Jocotepec.

(Three executed bodies found on the carretera towards Jocotopec)

Other postings are more specific about the location: bodies in sacks on both sides of the carretera at the Hotel Marina.

That's it. I'm leaving for Seattle Tuesday (Only kidding) Just going for a visit. Thank you for sharing this with us. One wouldn't dare post this on TOB

it was posted there

It seems they don't care about crime reports anymore, but you don't dare criticize Fox News. ( if MC is around)

Lots of police out and about. Several posted around LCS entrances with serious looking weapons when we drove past at 2:30. 2 trucks at the Walmart intersection. A few others here and there that we saw today, and one sped past me with lights going (no siren) headed west around the area near Roberto's.

probably just rushing to escort the 5 unmarked SUV's from the procuradoria. I was at the stop light in front of Walmart when they went by...police had to get out and stop traffic...not sure why all fuss for them. Thought maybe the president was in town. State police too.

Notisistema said the 3 bodies had notes attached to them and markings on their hands. There's been such a huge cartel change over recently, gotta wonder where they're gonna land. Such a sad way of life.

Strange they are making such a big deal about it. the paper hawkers are oout and someone just read the article to me. ...Both of them had a chopped off hand and the narco mensaje said that it was a warning to all of the thieves in Chapala....Yikes!

Cops were at LCS because the US ambassador was there. Nothing more, nothing less.........

Thanks, Bob. I thought it was curious for them to be there if the other event was happening elsewhere. Mystery solved!

Glad I could help solve it. Nothing worse than the rumor mongering that was/is happening on TOB.

El Milenio reported someone seeing bodies being thrown from a moving vehicle between Ajijic and Joco.

This from someone who lives there and has the details:

The bodies were dropped off a big truck near the libramiento in El Chante. One approximately 50 meters east of the corner of the street that goes down to the lake near the hotel (Marina's Hotel), one more just east of that about 50 meters and one more kind of across from the Carne En Su Jugo place that puts up the huge inflatable gorilla on weekends.

This other discovery of a murder victim in Jocotepec a few days ago went almost unnoticed:

Guadalajara, México (17 agosto 2013).- The body of a man, shot and showing three days of decomposition, was found in the municipality of Jocotepec.

The discovery was made at about 9:00pm on the dirt road known as Los Sabinos, which leads to the community of El Aguacate in the Ciénega region of the state.
