Officials became suspicious of the car, a Mazda SUV, and found the bodies early on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

David Monreal, governor of the central state, later confirmed on social media that two suspects had been detained.<\/p>\n

“They came to leave them here in front of the palace,” he said of the crime, adding the victims were “apparently beaten”.<\/p>\n

The Mexican security ministry confirmed they are sending assistance to help the local investigation.<\/p>\n

Mexico has long suffered with high levels of crime and rising murder rates.<\/p>\n

Zacatecas state has also seen a surge in violence linked to a turf war between rival drug gangs operating in the area, including incidents where bodies have been left or displayed in public places.<\/p>\n

Responding to the discovery in a video at the scene, Mr Monreal pledged to try and tackle the problem.<\/p>\n

“Bit by bit we will recover our peace. What we received was a cursed inheritance,” he was quoted by the AFP news agency as saying about the violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
