MEXICO CITY (AP) — The strangled bodies of two men have been found on a popular beach in the Mexican resort of Acapulco. The resort has been struggling to recover it tourist trade after being hit by Category 5 Hurricane Otis in October. But the violence, if not the tourists, is already back. Prosecutors in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero said the bodies were discovered early Thursday in the sand near a shack on Acapulco’s Condesa beach. The men’s bodies bore signs of “torture by ligature” with “signs of torture around the neck.” Mexican drug gangs frequently kill their victims by asphyxiation, either by strangling them or wrapping duct tape or plastic bags around their heads.
