Mexico says Zetas cartel boss killed Fingerprints said to match records taken from Heriberto Lazcano before the body is snatched from the funeral home. Mexico says the leader of the feared Zetas drug cartel has been been killed in a firefight with soldiers in the northern Mexican border state of Coahuila. But hours after the announcement on Tuesday, a group of armed men raided the funeral home where Heriberto Lazcano’s body was lying and snatched the corpse, officials said. “A masked, armed group overpowered the personnel, took the bodies and forced the owner of the funeral home to drive the get-away vehicle,” Homero Ramos, Coahuila’s state prosecutor, told a news conference. The navy said fingerprints taken from the body before the corpse was taken away have matched the records of Lazcano, known as El Lazca, confirming his death.

Mexico, U.S. officials confirm 8 young workers at drug cartel call center killed; bodies placed in bags It appeared the Jalisco cartel killed the youths after they tried to quit their jobs, an official said. MEXICO CITY — As many as eight young workers were confirmed dead Tuesday in Mexico after they apparently tried to quit jobs at a call center operated by a violent drug cartel that targeted Americans in a real estate scam. U.S. and Mexican officials confirmed the brutal story that unfolded late last month when relatives of the youths reported them missing after they did not return from work in an office near the western city of Guadalajara. Suspicions rose last week when heaps of hacked-up body parts were found in plastic bags. Forensic examiners in the western state of Jalisco said in a statement Monday that tests had confirmed the bodies belonged to the missing call center workers. A total of six men and two women were reported missing between May 20 and May 22, but the forensic e...

The last execution by hanging in Ireland took place 67 years ago today, on 20 April 1954 when 25 year old Michael Manning was executed. 67 years ago today, on April 20, 1954, a chapter in Irish legal history closed when Michael Manning, a 25-year-old carter from Limerick, became the 29th and last person to be legally executed in Ireland.  He had raped and murdered Catherine Cooper (65) who worked at Barrington’s Hospital, in Limerick, in February 1953.  He was found by the Gardai (police) because he had left a distinctive hat at the scene of the crime and was found with the yellow beret his victim had been wearing.  Manning’s headpiece was, as Dermot Walsh described in his book on the case, Beneath Cannock’s Clock, a “Mountie hat”.  It had a high conical shape, pinched into panes at the tip, and was otherwise known as a Baden Powell hat after the founder of the scouting movement. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Manning was sentenced to death despite the fact that the victim’s f...

Sawing in the half was an incredibly cruel execution method.

Image
Sawing in the half was an incredibly cruel execution method, used mostly in the Medieval Europe. During the process, the criminal would be hung upside-down from a tree or gallows, and a large saw would be then used to slice his or her body in half, starting with the crotch, all the way to the chest and head.  While some victims were cut completely in half, most of them were only sliced up to their abdomen, prolonging their agony. Because the victims were hung upside-down, the brain was receiving sufficient bloodflow to keep them alive and concious until the saw finally reached the main arteries in the abdomen.  In extreme cases, the execution could last several hours. The term "death by sawing" indicates the act of sawing a living person in half, either sagitally (usually midsagitally), or transversely.  Thus, decapitation by sawing or dismemberment by sawing are tangential sub-themes, though some ambiguous cases might be included.  Death by sawing was a method of ex...
