The bodies of 10 more murder victims have been found by police in the Mexican city of Tijuana, where gang violence has escalated recently.
Five of the latest victims were found in an abandoned van near a shopping centre and the decapitated bodies of two others were found by a road.
State prosecutors have blamed the killings on a drugs turf war.

On Tuesday, President Felipe Calderon sent a series of measures to Congress aimed at fighting a wave of drug-related violence that has killed more than 3,000 people so far this year.
The package includes a proposal to set up a department to monitor and tackle corruption among Mexican police.
President Calderon launched a nationwide battle almost two years ago to reclaim territory controlled by some of the world's most powerful drug gangs.
But the cartels have responded with unprecedented violence - including kidnappings and killings that have sparked public outrage and huge street protests.
