More mass graves have been unearthed in the Mexican border city of Juarez this week, as police on Monday dug up two bodies that may have been buried for at least five years, the El Paso Times reported.

Since Mexican police began finding human remains last month, a total of 14 bodies have been discovered in the patios or yards of Juarez homes -- nine bodies in four separate graves as of last week, three more found Saturday and the two found Monday, the Times reported.

Meanwhile, three more people were shot to death on Monday, bringing the estimated death toll from an escalating drug war to 89 since January, according to the Times.

Ex-police officer Juan Valentin Herrera Rojas, 26; Juan Manuel Gutierrez Gonzalez, 22; and Erick Guadalupe Rubalcaba, 28 died Monday when their  car was riddled with some 220 bullets in a parking lot near Paseo Triunfo de la Republica and Fray Junipero Serra, the Times reported.

Last weekend, four men -- including a state police officer and an army officer -- were shot to death in separate incidents, according to an earlier Times report.
