Internet hitmen

1 month ago 19th Jul 13:15

Mexican police are hunting hitmen who advertise their services on the internet.

Adverts offer killers for as little as US$6,000 - one posted on a general homeware and apartment rental site, read: "ex-military hitman, professional and discrete."

The post went on to promise "job guaranteed in 10 days or less. I have worked in Spain, only serious offers, $6,000."

Another advert reads: "Hitman - Killer for Hire. Problems with a certain person? Want it taken care of? Write to me. I am 100 percent professional and don't charge in advance."

The post went on to promise

Mexican police are taking the adverts seriously and have launched an investigation to find the posters. Mexico has a huge problem with drug cartels and inner city gangs, which have left 1,700 people dead in the first half of 2008.
