MEXICO CITY?? A Mexican political magazine's founder and a freelance journalist were found killed early Thursday 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.
Yarce founded Contralinea, and Gonzalez was a freelancer and former reporter for the Televisa television network.
Camacho said Yarce was not writing anymore or leading projects for the investigative magazine, which comes out twice a month. He said other journalists with the publication have been harassed because of their coverage, but would not offer more details.
Mexico's Human Rights Commission said Thursday night that it would open its own investigation into the homicides.
"The aggression, threats, intimidation and persecution that media workers suffer inhibit and limit free speech," it said in a statement.
The commission said eight journalists have been killed in Mexico this year and 74 since 2000. Other press groups cite lower numbers.
