Maria Elizabeth Macias Castro, 39, was the editor in chief of the newspaper, Primera Hora.
Her body was found Saturday morning, according to the attorney general's office in the northern Tamaulipas state. A message "attributed to a criminal group" was found next to her, the office said.
"The state government expresses its deepest condolences to the relatives and loved ones affected by these lamentable acts," the office said, adding that it is investigating.
Earlier this month, attackers left ominous threats mentioning two websites on signs beside mutilated bodies in northern Mexico.
A woman was hogtied and disemboweled. Attackers left her topless, dangling by her feet and hands from a bridge in the border city of Nuevo Laredo. A bloodied man next to her was hanging by his hands, his right shoulder severed so deeply the bone was visible.
Signs left near the bodies declared the pair, both apparently in their 20s, were killed for posting denouncements of drug cartel activities. Source

I say it again, WHO would live in MEXICO?????????? Your life is worth nothing!
And we wonder why they try to cross the border illegally.
You can live in Mexico, peacefully, you just have to avoid touching anything related to the cartels.
Half the Mexican authorities are in cahoots with the cartels. The other half live in fear of the gangsters. The UN needs to appoint an international force of untouchables to deal 'no quarter' with the cartels. If not these cowardly atrocities against defenceless women will continue.
