Mexican police have found the dismembered and decapitated bodies of at the very least 18 people inside the western section of the rustic, where violence between rival drug gangs has flared.
Prosecutor Tomas Coranado says the remains were discovered stuffed inside two vans near Lake Chapala Wednesday, not removed from town of Guadalajara.
Police say a handwritten note believed to be from the Zetas drug gang was found on the scene.
Turf battle
A woman allegedly associated with the Zetas gang is reported to have told investigators the killings were in retaliation for the murders of 23 people last Friday. The victims were found hanging from a bridge and stuffed in trash bags within the border city of Nuevo Laredo..
The Zetas and Sinaloa drug cartels have a history of violent attacks against each other in battles over turf.
More than 50,000 people were killed since President Felipe Calderon's crackdown on drug cartels began in 2006.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.
