Mexican police on Monday found a headless male body and another shot dead in the resort city of Cancun, after a violent weekend which saw 16 beheadings in Acapulco, on the opposite coast.
More than 50 gangland-style killings were reported across Mexico over the weekend, amid rising suspected drug violence blamed for more than 30,000 deaths since 2006.
A decapitated body was found near a main avenue in Cancun, a resort on the Caribbean popular with foreigners, accompanied by its head as well as a message from a criminal gang, state authorities said on Monday.
Another body, carrying bullet wounds, lay in a downtown area home to strip clubs, also with a message from a criminal gang, they said.
'Unfortunately, we're starting the year with these two killings,' said Mr Francisco Alor, attorney general of south-eastern Quintana Roo state, declining to comment on suspects for the attacks.
Although Cancun has seen little drug violence compared with other areas of Mexico, such as the northern border, authorities say the increasingly powerful Zetas drug gang operates in the area.
