Mexico finds charred bodies of 5 missing women

ALBAWABA - Mexican authorities found five charred bodies that belong to women who had been missing for 10 days.

The remains, which were found in central Mexico, belonged to the women who disappeared on March 7 in Celaya, Guanajuato, prosecutor Carlos Zamaripa said.

Six women, aged between 19 to 48, were reported missing some time ago, but only five bodies have been found.

The incident was one of the worst cases of violence against women in the country.

The Public Prosecutor confirmed that six people who confessed to belonging to a criminal gang were arrested in the state of Tamaulipas, in the northeast of the country.

However, he did not reveal whether the arrested were the ones who committed the crime against the women.

Details of the incident have not yet been revealed, but the investigation is still ongoing and forensic doctors are still searching for more evidence.

The state of Guanajuato, located in central Mexico, is known for the widespread of organized crime gangs in it. 

Ten women are murdered every day in Mexico, according to the United Nations. Last year, at least 3,754 women were murdered, according to official figures.
