I was in the Philippines recently, where ten people were decapitated.
Apparently it is not unusual there.
The motivation is kidnapping and extorsion by terrorists and there is an intense debate as to how to stop it; they seem unable to.
In Baja, it seems the motivation is different; criminal turf battles? Whatever it is,it is a unique act which places the perpetrators at a certain level of brutality designed to intimidate even tough people into submission. Probably it is effective in that regard. The question in Baja is, should the rest of us care, if it is just criminals eliminating each other? Or should we see it as something destructive of civilazation in a wider sense?
