Like the ritual? Get the footwear.

No kidding – these are actual Nike brand Santa Muerte sneakers.

Investigators said the heads of 11 decapitated bodies discovered in southern Mexico may have been burned in a ritual.

The Public Safety Department said police found an altar to the skeletal figure of the “Santa Muerte” in the home of two men arrested in connection with the slayings. They also found several scorched spots in a nearby clearing.

A statement sent late Sunday said police suspected the heads were burned in the clearing, though it did not say why.

The Santa Muerte is one of several unofficial folk saints worshipped in Mexico.

The beheaded corpses were found Thursday outside the city of Merida in the Yucatan Peninsula. The next day, police arrested three suspects with a bloody axe after a highway chase.

Anyone keeping track of the number of decapitations this year? It’s adding up.

    Yeah, but it’s just those pesky Catholic Mexicans. They’re OK since they only want to take our jobs. Since they’re into Jesus, it’s all good. It’s not like they’re Muslims. Go TEAM!

    I’m Catholic and I don’t worship no Santa Muerte or whatever the heck that is. It sounds to me like some freaky cult or an excuse for some sick criminals to simply kill innocent people. So, is MS16 pesky Catholic Latinos? They also kill mercilessly and have tatoos of Jesus and other religious figures.

    Whatever. Find these sick bastards and return the favor is what I say. Then take away their sneakers and find a size that fits #1 wetback above and hook him/her up with a pair, or two.

    This is the 21st century and we still have human sacrifices. We sure have come a long way.

    Maybe the numbers are down some but who knows? A lot of people vanish.

  8. Maslov says:

    Nike here there is nothing IMHO. The crime can be made in any footwear and clothes…
