Coatzacoalcos, Mexico, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Aug, 2018 ) :A group of missing persons' relatives in Mexico on Thursday said suspected criminals had anonymously revealed to them the location of a mass grave that could hold 500 bodies.
The grave, around 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the port of Veracruz in the east of the country, was located in the same area as another grave holding hundreds of victims, which was found in 2016, also as a result of a tip-off.
Rosalia Castro Toss, spokesperson for the Solecito collective -- made up of mostly mothers of missing persons -- told reporters the map was handed to the group a few months ago. Now, they are awaiting permits to carry out a search.
Close to the grave's apparent location is a road to relieve traffic heading to the port. The surrounding terrain is covered with vegetation, and has repeatedly been the scene of criminal activity.
