MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -The prosecutor's office of Mexico's Sinaloa state is investigating the killing of some 14 people, whose bodies were found around the city of Culiacan, it said in a statement on Thursday.
Mexico has suffered a recent wave of violence with hundreds killed in intra-cartel warfare in Sinaloa, as well as massacres in other states such as Queretaro where 10 people were killed in a bar over the weekend.
