A car full of corpses was parked in front of the government palace in Zacatecas, central Mexico, local governor David Monreal said on Thursday.
The car was parked in front of the building in the early morning and the driver fled the scene, Montreal said.
Although the governor did not mention a number, the local bodies reported six bodies.
The background to the crime is obscure, but in the central Mexican state, the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation drug cartels are at war. Within Mexico, most of the drugs that are later smuggled into the United States are transported through Zacatecas.
Mexico has been suffering from cartel and security violence for about 15 years. Since the then president, Felipe Calderón, tried to end drug crime by military means in 2006, the wave of violence has claimed roughly 350,000 lives and a further 96,000 people are missing.
A number of influential cartels and criminal organizations are active in Mexico today, often linked to corrupt politicians and security forces.
Current Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador presented preliminary crime statistics on Thursday. , according to which the number of homicides fell by four per cent last year to 33,410 compared to 2020. That equates to roughly 92 murders a day. Most murders in the country go unpunished. (MTI)
