<p>The image of the beach resort of Acapulco has taken a new hit from Mexico&#8217;s drug violence, with 27 people killed in less than a day, including 14 men whose bodies were found with their heads chopped off at a shopping centre.</p>
<p>Acapulco has seen fierce turf wars between drug gangs, and the bloodshed is scaring some holidaymakers away even though little of the violence happens in tourist areas.</p>
<p>The decapitation killings and most of the other murders that happened in just a few hours from Friday night into Saturday also happened in non-tourism areas. But two police officers were shot to death on a major bayside avenue in front of visitors and locals.</p>
<p>The 14 headless bodies, and a 15th intact corpse, were found by police on a street outside a shopping centre accompanied by written warnings from a drug cartel, authorities said.</p>
<p>Hand-written signs left with the bodies were signed by &#8220;El Chapo&#8217;s People,&#8221; a reference to the Sinaloa cartel, which is headed by Joaquin &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzman, said Fernando Monreal Leyva, director of investigative police.</p>
<p>The messages indicated the Sinaloa cartel killed the 15 men for trying to intrude on the gang&#8217;s turf and extort residents.</p>
<p>Mexico&#8217;s drug cartels have increasingly taken to beheading their victims in a grisly show of force, but Saturday&#8217;s discovery was the largest single group of decapitation victims found in recent years.</p>
<p>In 2008, a group of 12 decapitated bodies were piled outside the Yucatan state capital of Merida. The same year, nine headless men were discovered in the Guerrero state capital of Chilpancingo.</p>
<p>Also killed Saturday in Acapulco were the two police officers; six people who were shot dead and stuffed in a taxi, their hands and feet bound; and four others elsewhere in the city. Two police officers were wounded when armed men attacked a police post in the city&#8217;s Emiliano Zapata district.</p>
<p>The wave of violence in one of Mexico&#8217;s biggest resorts was condemned by the federal government.</p>
