Two Colombian singers on tour in Mexico were murdered after they were kidnapped and tortured by a local drug cartel.
The bodies of Bayron Sanchez Salazar, 31, known as B-King, and Jorge Luis Herrera Lemos, 35, known as DJ Regio Clown, were discovered in Cocotitlan, State of Mexico, on September 17.
They disappeared in Mexico City the previous day, before their remains were found cut into pieces.
Their identities were confirmed by their families on September 22. Three other bodies were also discovered at the same location, according to prosecutors.
A narco-message signed by the criminal group La Familia Michoacana, dedicated to drug trafficking and other illegal activities, was left alongside the victims.
The two artists had arrived in Mexico at the start of September for a series of concerts.

Investigations are continuing with both Mexican and Colombian prosecutors involved.
