Authorities have confirmed the murder of a Nuevo Laredo newspaper editor whose body decapitated and left with a message not to use social media to report about drug cartels.
It all happened in the Colonia Madero of Nuevo Laredo around 7:45 a.m. Saturday.
According to reports, a woman's body was next to a statue of Christopher Columbus with a message not to use social media to report about drug cartel violence.
The Tamaulipas Attorney General's Office (PGJE) identified the woman's body as 39-year-old Maria Elizabeth Macias-Castro, the editor of Nuevo Laredo's Primera Hora newspaper.
Macias-Castro is the third person in Nuevo Laredo to be murdered and left with a message not to use blogs or social media to report about drug cartels.
The mutilated bodies of two other people were left with a similar message two weeks ago.
Macias-Castro is also among three media professionals to have been killed in Nuevo Laredo in the past three years.
PGJE officials are promising a thorough investigation to find those responsible for Macias-Castro's death.
"The state government expresses it's condolences to family members and loved ones affected by these lamentable acts," PGJE officials said in a statement released Saturday night.
It is heartless and racist not to let these people into the US!!

Maybe they could change their last names.
These cartel monsters are the very essence of evil.
God be with the soul of this brave girl, and please console all those who loved her.
yup; they probably just need better educations.
Just saw a posting where two “enemies” of the drug cartel were decapitated by chainsaw. It’s coming to the US very, very soon. Muslims, Mexicans, and Obama voters.
These guys are going to be a drag on our society if we don’t educate them.
I don’t want to be heartless, guys, come on.
See, Janet was right. All this violence it waaaaay over on the Mexican side of the border. Yep, a whole half a mile. Thank goodness for that imaginary line on the map.
Makes you wonder if the ATF threw in some edged weapons as good customer bonuses...
God be with the soul of this brave girl, and please console all those who loved her.
Amen.
It’s time Texas went all heartless on Perry. We’ve been educating them and they’ve dragged Texas schools down, down, down.
Excellent visual.
Thank you!
Yep, the enemy isn’t even knocking on our door anymore.
If a cancer is left to grow it will kill you.
These drug pushers are a cancer on mankind.
Climate change doesn’t come close to these evil people, yet
there is NO ONE addressing this cancer like they do CG.
You want to see people get behind a much needed cause?
Start with an ARMY and wipe out the drug cartels.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
Oops. CG- CC (climate change)
NO cheers, unfortunately.
That helps, thanks.
oh, just legalize drugs
more competition will come in and drive down prices, more of the custioemr base will just die, and these cartels will find new jobs or clean up and become another Coca Cola or Kraft Foods
