A photographer takes picture of the slain bodies of three of seven men found dead with signs of torture at a corn field on the outskirts of the town of Navolato, some 25 miles (40 km) west of Culiacan, Mexican state of Sinaloa May 9, 2008. Fifteen people, including these three, have died in drug-related killings in Navolato in the past 24 hours, an official government agency reported on Friday. Mexican President Felipe Calderon said on Friday the country was sick and tired of rampant drug violence after five high-ranking policemen were killed in less than a week. More than 2,500 people were killed in drug related violence in Mexico last year. REUTERS/Stringer (MEXICO)
