MEXICO CITY — Nine men were found murdered in the back of a small cargo truck Saturday in the troubled southern state of Guerrero, Mexican authorities reported. State prosecutors said in a statement that the men were apparently kidnapped Thursday and reported missing the following night. The truck was discovered Saturday morning along a highway between the state capital, Chilpancingo, and the city of Tixtla. A government statement identified the man as Adiel Zermann Miguel, 39, and said his body was found on a street in Ixtapaluca, a suburb of Mexico City. Horacio Duarte Olivares, head of the Mexico State branch of presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s Morena party, condemned the killing and called for an investigation and a halt to political violence.
