A Mexican soldier stands guard at a drug processing laboratory in November. Thousands of people have died since a crack-down on illegal drug cartels began six years ago. On the weekend police found at least eight bodies in a well near the northern city of Monterrey
Gov. Rodrigo Medina told a local television station that four of the bodies had been pulled from the well, and said it could hold as many as 10 cadavers.
Mr Medina said experts were still working to identify the corpses, but noted "we have evidence that indicates that (the bodies) may very well be the members of this band."
The Nuevo Leon State Investigative Agency was still working at the well in a vacant lot in the town of Mina near the northern Mexican city of Monterrey, and the body count could rise, the forensic official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.
