ACAPULCO, MEXICO (AP) -- Police say they found 11 bodies dumped around a southern Mexican state, including seven wrapped in plastic bags and thrown off a bridge.

Guerrero state police say the bodies of five men and two women were found in a river between the Pacific resort town of Acapulco and the city of Cuernavaca.

They were wrapped in bags and dumped off a bridge.

The other four bodies were found in a 600-yard ravine in the Guerrero state town of Pilcaya.

The bodies were all found Sunday. Police said they were too damaged to immediately determine how they were killed.

Investigators did not have any suspects or possible motive for the killings.

Mexico's warring drug cartels, however, often leave the bodies of rivals dumped in public.
