''Two Canadians — one of them sought by Interpol — have been found dead of knife wounds in Mexico's Caribbean coast resort of Playa del Carmen, the state prosecutor's office said on Tuesday.

Prosecutors in Quintana Roo state, also home to resorts like Cancun and Tulum, said the man and the woman were found dead on Monday at a hotel or condominium in the troubled resort, and a third person was reported injured.

There was no immediate information on their names or hometowns. But prosecutors confirmed the male victim was on an Interpol wanted list for fraud charges.''

''In late October, farther south in the laid-back destination of Tulum, two tourists — one a California travel blogger born in India and the other German — were caught in the apparent crossfire of rival drug dealers and killed.''

''The Canadian government is reminding travellers to avoid non-essential travel to more than a dozen regions in Mexico following the murders of two Canadians in Playa del Carmen early Monday morning.''


''The murders were particularly cruel according to Luis Horacio Nájera, a former Mexican reporter specializing in organized crime who now lives in Canada.

“Cutting throats is a cruel way to kill that is frequently used by organized crime groups,” Nájera said. “I wouldn’t be surprised to know a video was filmed by the killers,” he added.

Najera added that murders in Mexico are sometimes ordered from Canada.''

Global Affairs Canada updated its travel advisories for Mexico hours after the murders early Monday morning.

The alerts advise Canadians to “exercise a high degree of caution” in Mexico and avoid non-essential travel in more than a dozen regions “due to high levels of violence and organized crime.”

Those regions are:

• all Chihuahua
• all Colima, except the city of Manzanillo
• all Coahuila, except the southern part of the state at and below the Saltillo-Torreón highway corridor
• all Durango, except Durango City
• all Guerrero, except the cities of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo and Taxco
• in Guanajuato, on Highway 45 between León and Irapuato and the area south of and including Highway 45D between Irapuato and Celaya
• all Michoacán, except the city of Morelia
• in Morelos, the Lagunas de Zempoala National Park and surrounding areas
• in Nayarit, the area within 20 km of the border with Sinaloa and Durango and the city of Tepic
• all Nuevo León, except the city of Monterrey
• all Sinaloa, except the city of Mazatlán
• all Sonora, except the cities of Hermosillo and Guaymas/San Carlos and Puerto Peñasco
