5 people, some with their hands tied and heads covered, found murdered on road leading to Acapulco

Five men, some with their hands tied and heads covered, were found dead Monday on a Mexico road leading to Acapulco, a once-glamorous resort city now engulfed in cartel violence.

Prosecutors in the southern state of Guerrero announced the discovery and said a probe had been opened into "aggravated homicide."

Local media reported that residents had found the victims, four of whom had their hands tied. The reports said the men had a variety of different injuries.
