The bodies were dumped by hit men (and police) in a mass grave, doused with a flammable substance and set ablaze.
IGUALA, Mexico — Inaky Blanco, the chief prosecutor of violence-plagued Guerrero state, said it would take at least 15 days to identify the 28 bodies in the clandestine grave, some of which were badly burned and in pieces.

Mexican students recall clashes with police as massacre probed
Mexican police killed three trainee teachers, shot another in the head and another in the face, and herded dozens more into police trucks to what investigators fear was a massacre on a remote hillside, survivors of the incident say.
