In a statement, the state prosecutors's office said gunmen opened fire on a pool party in central Ciudad Juarez, killing three women and a man and wounding five other women, all of whom were wearing swimsuits. It said two suspects were arrested later. In another pre-dawn attack at a private house, gunmen riddled party-goers with bullets. The statement said three victims died at the scene and another three in hospital. The bodies of four other men, showing signs of torture with several shots through their heads, were found in other parts of the city across the border from El Paso, Texas. According to tally based on offical reports, Ciudad Juarez has seen 1,853 murders so far this year, nearly half up on than the first eight months of last year.
