Nuevo Laredo Newspaper Editor Decapitated For Using Social Media

According to reports, a woman’s body was next to a statue of Christopher Columbus with a message not to use social media to report about drug cartel violence.

The Tamaulipas Attorney General’s Office (PGJE) identified the woman’s body as 39-year-old Maria Elizabeth Macias-Castro, the editor of Nuevo Laredo’s Primera Hora newspaper.

Macias-Castro is the third person in Nuevo Laredo to be murdered and left with a message not to use blogs or social media to report about drug cartels.

The mutilated bodies of two other people were left with a similar message two weeks ago.

some of the locasl were making postings on facebook and other social media about the activities of the drug cartells.  The cartells took offense to the postings.
