Missing woman's remains found 'cooked' in pots on stove
The dismembered remains of a missing woman have been found "cooked" in pots on a stove.
The young woman went missing from her home in the city of Taxco in southern Mexico on 13 January, after saying she was leaving to pick up her children from her ex-husband's home.
Guerrero state prosecutors said she was not heard from again and authorities now believe she was murdered and dismembered.
State security spokesman Roberto Alvarez said the woman's remains were found inside pots on a stove, adding: "It is presumed that she was cooked."
He said the victim's ex-husband was the "chief suspect" and that the death was being investigated as a femicide - the killing of a woman directly motivated by their gender.
According to a report last month by the Mexican government and the UN Women agency, murders of women in Mexico have risen sharply over the last 10 years.
