Juárez:  The Truce is Gone:  Five Executions Yesterday

From Diario this morning:  Two men and a woman were executed on the wall of the electric transformer station on the Casas Grandes highway just outside of Juárez.  Their hands were tied behind their backs and one of the men had a light bulb in his mouth.  Several shell casings were found near the bodies.

A man was shot and killed at 2:40 pm yesterday as he left his home in Col. Villa Colonial, and an adolescent man in a vehicle with his father was grazed by a bullet in the same attack. Witnesses said two men in a grey Jeep Cherokee stopped as if to talk to the man and then shot him.  Police said he was the third victim in the last two days in that neighborhood.

A woman was shot and seriously wounded at a telephone booth outside a night club on Oscar Flores.  She was taken to a hospital

Three persons, including a woman, were arrested at 3 am this morning in possession of an encobijado.  Apparently they were trying to dump the body, wrapped in a brown blanket, when police got suspicious and chased the van on Ave. Tecnologico and finally arrested them.
