Okay, in fairness, not a proper lynching, per se. Just a pretty brutal strangulation. But I had to get my nod in for alliteration. And any time I can double that up with some classic DK, I gotta go for it.

Secondly, sorry about the watermarks. I typically try to post clean pics, but the simple fact is that there's basically ONE rojas photographer left in the ever-violent Guerrero area who still publishes uncensored and up-close gore/murder photos on a regular basis. But he does love his watermarks. Still, he's the one standing in the street taking pics, not me, so he's entitled.

Mexican news is tough to get when fresh. It is full of erroneous information and speculation as dozens of news bloggers flock to social media to dispense information before all the facts are in. Can make translating and reporting it here a bit challenging.

But the facts are as follows:

Yesterday afternoon two armed men got out of a grey VW Jetta in front of a primary school. They were carrying firearms (make and calibre not disclosed) and demanded to know where to find 'the lady who sells XXX.' XXX in this case is different based on the reporter in question. Some reported it as 'sells candy', some as 'sells stamps', others as 'sells postcards' and several as 'sells soda pop.'

So the quaking interviewees directed the men to the small courtyard where drinks and food are sold. On this particular day, the usual lunch lady had brought her younger sister along to help pass out food, drinks, and candy. The men grabbed the sister and manhandled her into the Jetta.

Military police arrived to lock down the school and launch a search for the missing woman, but it was not successful.

Several hours later, a few barrios over from the school, witnesses reported that a gray Jetta had stopped in the middle of the street in front of a housing project and two men wrestled a body out of the trunk and dumped it in the road. The anonymous caller informed the police that a long ligature was visible around her neck, even without getting too close.

She has been unofficially identified as the young woman abducted from the lunch courtyard at the school earlier in the day. Various sources reported her COD as 'beating, stabbing, strangling, shooting, or hit-and-run', but again this sort of confusion is typical in the immediate wake of reports.

The official ruling on her death at this point, as I suspect is plainly obvious to gore aficionados, was asphyxiation by ligature strangulation. Her cadaver shows all the typical signs of that method of dispatch.

Note, that the hose/tube/whatever lying across her legs is apparently just some random piece of trash, either from the road or from the Jetta's trunk and has nothing to do with her death. It does not match the ligature used to strangle her and isn't particularly relevant to the scene according to the photographer.

EDIT UPDATE: Multiple sources are now confirming that while helping her sister 'sell candy' was the front she used, the woman was actually strong-arming other vendors in and around the school, threatening them with 'heavy retaliation' if they did not pay her extortion money. She also claimed that she was 'untouchable' and had 'friends in high places who would protect her. Whether or not she had the ability to back up these threats, word apparently got back to the Plaza Boss in charge of the area and he clearly decided that there was not room for two protection rackets in his territory.

So she was beaten, tortured, and then slowly (the strangulation has to be fairly prolonged and slow for the tongue to protrude past the teeth the way it is pictured here) asphyxiated to death with a belt. Several of the other local vendors were reported to have (anonymously) informed reporters that she deserved everything she got and that she was an absolute thieving cunt.

That's a bit excessive....the watermarks I mean.

Most of his images (and he often has as many as a dozen per case) are exclusive, proprietary, and completely unavailable without the watermarks. I've attempted to contact him several times with offers to purchase the photos, thus getting them without the WM, but he is non-compliant with my endeavors.

And if the photos are decent, I'd usually rather have WM'd versions than none at all.

Damn, I wonder what the fuck they wanted with that woman. Also, dude are you a journalist? And if you aren't you should be one

[Vedderman]

Just a note that a different reporter is now reporting that the 'tube' lying by her legs has been inserted into her vagina as a form of torture, but tbh I think he's seeing things. In none of the above images does that 'tubing' actually seem to be INSIDE her jean shorts. Just lying against them. The same report also states that she was shot in the face, which is pretty clearly untrue.

I think I'll stick with the original reporter's assertion that it is not directly associated. She was most likely tortured before being strangled, but I seriously doubt that that bit of tubing is rammed into her kaslopus in the road there.

Also, the theory has been posited that she was selling whatever she was selling without paying protection money to the local Plaza Boss. They tend to frown on that, even for small-time vendors.

I have updated the OP to reflect recent additions to the report. They did her this way to make an example of her for horning in on their territory and running her mouth.

Does the tongue swell up during the strangulation?
