MEXICO Even death may not be a sufficient punishment in the eyes of some drug cartel members. They mutilate the dead body of their female rival, whom they had previously killed. They fire an entire magazine into her head with an assault rifle.
The world of drug cartel violence is full of bloodshed and brutality, with not even a trace of respect for human life. Acts of extreme overkill like this are not only meant to boost their status among each other. By desecrating the body, they also send a message to their rivals and attempt to instill fear.
