Canadians Were Found Dead In Playa Del Carmen A Resort In Mexico

The couple was found with their neck cut in a hotel room, according to local media reports. A third man was also injured in the attack, prosecutors said. The bloody scene was the latest incident of international violence on the coast of the Mayan Riviera in Mexico – the country’s largest tourist destination. In January, two Canadians were found dead at a Playa del Carmen resort. The killings were linked to drug and arms trafficking debts.
