Mexico man 'dissolved 300 bodies'

[sushimo]

A man arrested by Mexican police says he disposed of 300 bodies for a drugs gang over the past decade by dissolving them in chemicals.

Santiago Meza, called the "stew maker", said he was paid $600 (£440) a week to dissolve the bodies of murdered rival gang members in caustic soda.

He was presented to the media by the Mexican army after being arrested on Thursday near the city of Tijuana.

Over 700 people died in the US border city last year in an ongoing drugs war.

The Mexican army says it believes Mr Meza's claims are true.

"They brought me the bodies and I just got rid of them," Mr Meza told journalists at a construction site where he disposed of the bodies over a 10-year period. "I didn't feel anything."

Well so long as they were dead already it is not that big a deal. If told people he buried the bodies this would not even be notiche ed. The dead do not care how they are disposed of.

That's true Nomad, but it's the victims families that will live with this memory. The dead feel and know nothing, but the living do.

As long as the bodies were dead, i hope they were! Gangland killings and disposal are never pretty, that's how they operate.
