{{Thirteen bodies have been recovered from a mass grave near Mexico City, five of which are remains of young people kidnapped in the capital in May, officials said.}}<\/p>\n
“The remains of 13 people were recovered,” federal prosecutor Renato Sales told reporters on Friday, adding that forensics tests revealed the identities of five of the victims.<\/p>\n
Officials said DNA tests would continue to identify the eight other “badly decomposed” bodies.<\/p>\n
The grave was discovered on Thursday on a rural ranch in Tlalmanalco, east of the capital. <\/p>\n
The five are among 12 young people who were kidnapped from a downtown bar three months ago in a case that has shocked the capital and marred its image as an oasis from drug cartel violence.<\/p>\n
There was no immediate explanation about how the 13th body was related to the kidnapped youths.<\/p>\n
Officials had earlier reported the discovery of seven bodies on a ranch adjacent to a park 30km southeast of Mexico City.<\/p>\n
