VERACRUZ, Mexico — Police in Mexico's Gulf coast of Veracruz say they have found the bodies of five men who were tortured and shot to death.

Veracruz state prosecutors say police found the men Tuesday on an empty lot in the southern town of Carlos A. Carrillo.

Prosecutors say each of the five had bruises all over his body and was shot in the head.

Veracruz is one of several eastern Mexico states where the Gulf and Zetas cartels are fighting for control.
