Security forces in Mexico have found the body of the kidnapped mayor of the northern city of Santiago, reports say.

Edelmiro Cavazos was taken from his home by armed men on Sunday night.

His body was found handcuffed and blindfolded outside the nearby city of Monterrey, local media said.

The wealthy cities are seen as prime targets for gangs who kidnap for ransom. The Monterrey area has also seen a rise in violence blamed on a turf war between rival drug cartels.

Police said Mr Cavazos had just returned from attending a public function on the town's main square on Sunday when 15 gunmen broke into his home and forced him into a car.
