THE MOST BRUTAL EXECUTION METHODS REPORTEDLY USED BY MEXICAN CARTELS.

The Most Brutal Execution Methods Reportedly Used By Mexican Cartels

The Mexican Drug War - a sustained, violent conflict between powerful drug cartels and the Mexican government - has claimed an estimated 164,000 lives over the past decade. 

This rampant bloodshed has torn apart cities and communities across Mexico, often taking the lives of the innocent along with those directly involved. 

The Mexican cartels (The Sinaloa, Los Zetas, The Gulf Cartel, and the Knights Templar, most notably) and their known drug associates continue to escalate gratuitous acts of retaliation and often record the executions. 

In 2017, the Mexican government extradited Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, a known member of the Sinaloa cartel, to the US. Guzmán faces charges of murder and laundering funds. 

New York prosecutors have evidence against the alleged cartel leader, including YouTube videos in which Guzmán systematically harmed and then removed the heads of rival gang members. 

In a 2010 video, Guzmán used a chainsaw against Hugo Hernandez, reportedly to send a message indicating he would use aggression against anyone who involves law enforcement with the cartel's enterprises. 

In 2013, Mexican Marines apprehended Miguel Ángel Treviño Morales, the alleged cartel leader of Los Zetas. 

Authorities believe Morales is responsible for at least 72 slayings in the 2010 San Fernando massacre. 

Also known as “Z-40,” Morales reportedly executed perceived enemies of the cartel using the method of “The Stew,” or El Guiso.

This execution style entails taking live victims and putting them in a 55-gallon drum. Then Morales would either boil them or douse them in a flammable liquid and set them afire. 

Face peeling has become a common practice in the Mexican Drug War as an effective scare tactic to rivals and would-be informants. 

In 2010, Guzmán, or El Chapo, recorded a video of him removing Hugo Hernandez's head with a chainsaw. 

Afterward, the alleged Sinaloa cartel leader removed Hernandez’s face.

Reportedly, he then affixed the victim's face to a soccer ball to add to his warning intended for the Juarez cartel. 

Mexican authorities recovered the soccer ball from the footsteps of city hall in Ciudad Juarez. The Sinaloa cartel included a note: "Happy New Year, because this will be your last."

Just as the infamous Pablo Escobar kept hippopotamuses and other exotic creatures at his private compound, rare and dangerous pets are still a status symbol today for high-ranking members of the Mexican cartels. 

Heriberto Lazcano, also known as "Z-3" and El Lazca, allegedly fed his enemies to his exotic pets - lions and tigers. 

The former alleged leader of the Los Zetas cartel forced his victims into cages and allowed an audience to view the proceedings. 

Lazcano was reportedly felled in a 2012 shootout with Mexican military officials. 

In 2009, Federal Agents apprehended Santiago Meza Lopez, known as “The Soupmaker,” or El Polozero. Lopez confessed to dissolving over 300 bodies in acid baths for the Tijuana cartel. 

Reportedly, Teodoro García Simenta, an alleged lieutenant for the Tijuana cartel, paid Lopez to get rid of the cartel’s victims. Federal agents relayed Lopez’s acid bath method: 

Texas law enforcement apprehended Marciano “Chano” Millan Vasquez in 2015. The courts convicted him on 10 counts, including murder and drug trafficking. 

Vasquez, an alleged hitman for the Los Zetas cartel, was involved in the 2013 kidnapping of a former drug trafficking associate. 

The associate later testified against Vasquez, claiming the cartel assassin took him to an undisclosed location where Vasquez was also keeping a family of three. 

Reportedly, US officials seized a shipment of narcotics, and Chano sought retribution against the man for failure to pay for the lost goods. 

When the hitman removed the blindfold, the drug associate saw a family - a couple and their 6-year-old daughter - standing near a flaming barrel. 

The cartel members forced the parents to watch as Vasquez dismembered the girl with an ax. 

He then threw her limbs into the fire. Vasquez repeated the same action on the parents.

Grim & Brutal! Boxer Rebellion Execution And Torture Photos These photos of the Boxer Rebellion (1899 – 1901) are fucking brutal!!! Boxer rebels and criminals were put to death in view of the public in a very bloody way with no mercy.  These acts of brutality were done as a warning to others not to cross the state. If the man tied up in this torture device seems a little too cheerful considering his situation, there’s a reason for this. He wasn’t a prisoner.  In fact, he was a guide whom the photographer used to help demonstrate the device. A real convict on the ladder-like contraption would definitely not have been looking so serene.  Their shins would have been digging into the edge of the cross board every time they allowed their body to relax.  And they wouldn’t have been able to sit or stand but would’ve been forced to stay in that uncomfortable, hunched position for as long as the punishment dictated. The man in the photo is not a criminal. He is one of the...

A MAN CONVICTED OF RAPING AND MURDERING A 3-YEAR-OLD GIRL WAS EXECUTED IN SANA'A.

A man convicted of raping and murdering a 3-year-old girl was executed in Sanaa on Monday in front of hundreds of onlookers, the first public execution there since 2009. "Security was very tight, because authorities were fearing a revenge attack by armed men from the Bani Matar tribe to which the girl's family belong," said Reuters photographer Khaled Abdullah, who witnessed the scene. The police van transporting Muhammad al-Maghrabi, 41, to Sanaa's Tahrir Square was escorted by five police patrol vehicles.  The execution drew a large number of onlookers, some perched up telegraph poles and many watching from rooftops. The crowd started to shout "Allah is the greatest" when Maghrabi arrived. "The man was escorted from the van to the middle of the square, and then the place turned to a complete chaos and I fought for a position to take pictures," Abdullah said. "He tried to talk to the executioner, a police officer who was calmly smoking a ciga...
