At least 27 people were decapitated at a ranch in northern Guatemala near the border with Mexico, in a grisly mass murder feared linked to drug traffickers operating in the area, police said on Sunday.
The discovery in the department of Peten was at a farm in San Andres, some 500 kilometres (310 miles) north of the capital.
