Two bodies were found on a collective farm in Mexico, near where the remains of 13 other people believed killed by a cult of human sacrifice were found last week. Investigators said the two men were victims of the same drug-smuggling gang blamed for the deaths of the others, whose remains were discovered at a ranch near Matamoros, but officials said they were not sacrificed in cult rituals. Mexican police group chief Martin Elias Salazar said the bodies found on the farm, unlike the others, were not mutilated. He said they died in “a revenge-type killing” and had been missing since last May.
