    Drug related violence in Mexico has left another 25 people dead, four of them from decapitation.

    The victims were killed in Mexico's southern Guerrero state on Saturday, with two bodies of decapitated men found in the streets of the resort city of Acapulco.

    Two other decapitated bodies were found west of the city.
