Mexico City (Mexico), 1 July (LaPresse/AP) – An anonymous phone call led Mexican authorities to the border town of Ciudad Juarez, where they made a chilling discovery in a crematorium: 383 corpses and the remains of six other people. Chihuahua State Attorney General César Jauregui said the people had been dead for at least three or four years. ‘Who knows what the motives were, because keeping such a large number of bodies suggests that they were not providing the service’ offered by the crematorium, the attorney general said. Authorities have not yet clarified why so many bodies were being kept in the crematorium, which worked with six funeral homes in the city. The bodies were discovered on Thursday. Jauregui said the crematorium's owner and an employee had been arrested.
