On Sunday, a Toronto couple was found dead in their home in the Mexican retirement town of Ajijic, a small lakeside town about 54 kilometres south of Guadalajara (February 9).

Nina Discombe, 72, and Edward Kular, 84, have traveled to Mexico to spend winters for years.

A gardener discovered their bodies lying in a pool of blood. It appeared that Kular was struck on the head with a statue and Discombe was stabbed in the stomach with a kitchen knife.

"They both were beaten up savagely before they were killed and that's not something that someone who's just there to steal money and jewelry is going to do," Alejandro Grattan, editor in chief of the English-language El Ojo del Lago and a friend of the victims, said in a CBC News report.

Their house was completely ransacked. Two cars with Ontario license plates were among the items stolen.

A spokesman from the local municipal government said that authorities are looking for a green truck believed to contain stolen items.
