Mexico City (CNN) -- At least two of four dismembered bodies found Thursday morning in the eastern state of Veracruz and bearing signs of torture were journalists, Mexican authorities said.
The journalists were identified as Guillermo Luna Varela and Gabriel Huge, who had been reported missing Wednesday, said Sandra Garcia, a spokeswoman for the state government.
The governor of Veracruz, Javier Duarte de Ochoa, said in a statement that the other two bodies were identified as Esteban RodrÃguez RodrÃguez and Irasema Becerra. It was not immediately clear whether they were also journalists.
It said Duarte had met with the secretary of public security, Arturo Bermudez Zurita, and with the attorney general, Felipe Amadeo Flores Espinosa, and ordered them to investigate the case and punish those responsible.
