Three WSJ reporters track the narrative of at least 25 people who died across Mexico on a recent Friday...all apparently narco killings.
The victims included 3 police, three 15-year-olds, a 14-year-old and a woman so badly disfigured that police can't tell her age.
WSJ: "Since President Felipe Calderón took office in December 2006, declaring war on traffickers, roughly 43,000 people have been killed in drug-related homicides here, according to government figures and newspaper estimates. The pace of killings is escalating. More than half the dead, 22,000, were killed in the past 18 months, a rate of one every 35 minutes."
