Default Canadians killed in Cabo

Another Canadian has been killed in Cabo. Just how safe is this area of Mexico? I don't know the number killed over the past few years, but it doesn't take many to make vacationers concerned about their safety.

He was shot three times in the head in his hotel room and his girl friend was shot in the foot. There doesn't appear to be much information on the murder. Doesn't sound like a tourist attack to me. Sounds more like a mob hit or a vengeance hit. I am not sure of the derivation of the names Bouabal Bounthavorn or Masha Heikali. Masha is apparently a Russian or Serbian name. Couldn't find Bouabal.

Two were killed at the Montage in Laguna:

That won't will stop me from going to Laguna again.

What the h*ll are the Canadians doing down there to provoke the Mexicans? WOW...! (That was not meant to sound insensitive, but why Canadians, I wonder?)
