2 female journalists found slain in Mexico park

A Mexican political magazine's founder and a freelance journalist have been found killed in a Mexico City park, authorities said.


Two joggers discovered the bodies of Marcela Yarce and Rocio Gonzalez near a cemetery in El Mirador park in the poor, crowded neighborhood of Iztapalapa.


The necks of the women bore strangulation marks and their hands were tied behind their back, said Jose Carlos Cervantes, spokesman for the Mexico City police.


"It was a very violent killing. We are dismayed," said Zosimo Camacho, a spokesman for the magazine Contralinea, to The Associated Press.

Authorities gave no motives in the killings. The Mexico City Attorney General's Office said both Yarce and Gonzalez were 48, while Camacho said Yarce was 45.
