68 bodies of  executed young men have been found in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, activists told the press.

The bodies were caked in grey mud and showed signs of rigor mortis. There were also signs of blood having poured from many of the heads,BBC Reports

The bodies were found in the Quweiq River, which separates the Bustan al-Qasr district from Ansari in the southwest of the city, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

“Until now we have recovered 68 bodies, some of them just teens,” said Captain Abu Sada, adding that all of them had been “executed by the regime.”

More bodies could be recovered from the same spot according to the activists .”But there must be more than 100. There are still many in the water, and we are trying to recover them.”

A volunteer said as he helped load one of the bodies on a truck: “We don’t know who they are because there was no ID on them

“Those who are not identified will be buried in a common grave.” AFP reported
