MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexican prosecutors have released surveillance videos that show five city policemen kidnapping three men from a hotel in western Mexico. The men later were found asphyxiated and beaten to death.

The images from the Jalisco state prosecutors' office provide an unusually open view of just how deep corruption runs. The police officers appear to act on the orders of four civilians who may have been members of a drug gang.

The tape shows the three victims being marched out of a hotel in their underwear. The three turned up dead the next day.

Jalisco prosecutors' spokesman Lino Gonzalez said Thursday that the five officers, their commander and the local police chief in the city of Lagos de Moreno have been detained pending charges.
