Mexican authorities say they have discovered two more bodies at a house in Tijuana where a couple with dual U.S.-Mexico citizenship were found buried, allegedly by their son-in-law.
The attorney general’s office for the state of Baja California, just south of San Diego, California, said late Saturday the second set of bodies –one male and the other female — are in a state of advanced decomposition.

The suspect was deported from the U.S. in 2012 and had been living at a property in Tijuana owned by his in-laws.
Maria Teresa Lopez, 65, and her husband Jesus Ruben Lopez, 70, entered Mexico on January 10 to retrieve the equivalent of $6,400 in rent for apartments they owned in the city, and that their son-in-law had supposedly collected on their behalf.
