Five Human Heads Found on Tourist Beach in Ecuador

Five human heads were found on a tourist beach in Ecuador, accompanied by a threatening message. The discovery was made in Puerto Lopez, a popular whale-watching area, and is being investigated by police. The incident is linked to the wave of violence sweeping Ecuador, where nine people were killed in gang clashes in December. Ecuador is experiencing an escalation of violence due to conflicts between gangs linked to Mexican and Colombian cartels. Despite President Daniel Noboa's efforts to combat crime, the number of murders has increased significantly.
