A popularYouTube star has been found dead with his hands and feet bound after suffering hours of torture.

Police suspect that a hitman linked to the powerful Sinaloa drugs cartel in Mexico is behind the brutal killing of 22-year-old influencer 'El Pinky', whose real name is Agustín Paul. Footage circulating online shortly after his death showed him bruised and injured. In the clip, which the Mirror has chosen not to show, El Pinky is interrogated by a Mexican cartel and accused of collaborating with a rival gang 'La Mayiza'.
