Jungle gang kill victims for their fat
A gang in the Peruvian jungle has been killing people and draining fat from the corpses to sell on the black market for use in cosmetics.
Three suspects confessed to killing five people, but the gang may have been involved in dozens more, said Colonel Jorge Mejia, chief of Peru's anti-kidnapping police.
Mejia said two of the suspects were arrested carrying bottles of liquid human fat and told police it was worth $60,000 a gallon.
The fat was sold to intermediaries in Peru's capital, Lima, and police suspect it was then sold to cosmetic companies in Europe.
Imagine how much money they could make from cosmetics if they went to America!
