Peruvian police have arrested three members of a larger gang suspected of murdering a number of peasant farmers, then selling the fat from their bodies to cosmetics companies. Good times.
The men have confessed to a total of five killings, but are suspected of dozens more. Police believe they approached their victims on remote roads and lured them to a hut in the jungle with talk of being able to introduce them to a potential employer. Instead, the victims were bludgeoned to death.
As bad as the job market is here, we are immeasurably thankful we haven't yet reached the point where we're following strange men we meet on remote roads into jungle huts at the prospect of getting hired to do God-knows-what. You likely don't want to know the specifics of how they collected the actual fat - we did, but don't expect the same from others - but suffice to say it involved hooks, candles, and a person(s) of no delicate constitution. What a mess.
