Security forces work at the scene after ten dead bodies were found in the streets of the popular coastal resort Acapulco in southern Mexico. Mexico is plagued by cartel-related bloodshed that has seen more than 420,000 people murdered since the government deployed the military in its war on drugs in 2006. Violence often escalates across the country in the run-up to elections. Mexicans are set to go to the polls in presidential and parliamentary votes on Sunday June 2. IMAGES
