Mexico homicide
The investigation and identification of bodies are in the process by the prosecutor's office.
Days before president-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is due to visit for a series of forums seeking to stem the violence in the country, 11 bodies were discovered on Friday in a Mexican town close to the US border.
It is known that people were victims of homicide.
The government of the northern state of Chihuahua said in a statement, that they found bodies of eight men and three women in a home in Ciudad Juarez.
The investigation and identification of bodies are in the process by the prosecutor's office.
The incident may be related to clashes between criminal groups, the government added.
Ciudad Juarez was for many years one of Mexico's most violent cities, drawing comparisons to a war zone.
The city's crime rate has improved in recent years, but it remains dangerous due to the presence of drug trafficking and organised crime.
On Tuesday, Lopez Obrador is due to kick off in Ciudad Juarez a series of discussions aimed at promoting peace. The talks will be attended by victims of crime, authorities, academics and religious groups, among others.
Mexico's President Lopez Obrador vows to root out corruption, also to tackle the violence that has killed thousands of people in recent years.
