Head thrown in at polling station in northern Mexico

In Mexico, where elections are underway, a severed head has been thrown inside a polling station in the city of Tijuana. Plastic bags were also found near the polling station, which contained severed hands, among other things. This is reported by the local authorities in the city, which borders the United States.

The man who threw the head in ran away after his action, but it is not clear whether he was also arrested. A grenade was thrown at another polling station elsewhere in the country. It is not clear whether the violence is related to the voting.

Mexico’s elections, which include all 500 seats in the lower house, several governorships and thousands of local positions of power, were one of the bloodiest ever. An investigation by the Mexican research company Ettelekt shows that at least 91 politicians were murdered before the elections.

The results of the elections are not yet known. More than 93 million Mexicans can cast their votes.
