A young man in Mexico may have been forced to kill his friends after they were allegedly kidnapped in the western state of Jalisco, according to multiple reports, citing Mexican investigators.

Childhood friends Jaime Adolfo Martínez Miranda, Dante Cedillo Hernández, Diego Alberto Lara Santoyo, Roberto Olmeda Cuellar and Uriel Galván González were last heard from on August 11 in Jalisco, Mexico, according to Spanish media outlet El País.

On Thursday investigators said they had discovered four decapitated and badly burned bodies that might be related to the five kidnapped youths, one of whom was filmed apparently being forced to kill the others, according to CBS News and Mexico News Daily. The bodies are yet to be officially identified.

The friends, who are aged between 19 and 22 years old, had reportedly attended a festival in the city of Lagos de Moreno, CBS News reports. According to El País, they were last heard from at 10:55 p.m., when they said they were heading home.
