Severed head, bodies found in Guatemala

Four severed heads and two beheaded bodies have been found in the capital of Guatemala.



The bodies were left in the open around Guatemala City.



Messages to the interior minister and the director of prisons were pinned to the bodies.



Interior Minister Carlos Menocal says the first head was found in front of Congress, the second at a shopping centre, another in front of a fire station and the fourth in a residential neighbourhood.



In the messages, the killers expressed anger at the government and the penal system, and warned that if changes are not made to these institutions then there could be more murders.



Police spokesman Donald Gonzalez says the killings are linked to drugs, and came after a string of arrests of alleged high-profile drug traffickers
