News From The Weird: Peruvian Gang Kills Overweight People, Sells Their Fat For Cosmetics...

What a strange and disturbing story...it seems that four people have been arrested in Peru on suspicion of killing dozens of people in order to sell their fat and tissue for cosmetic uses in Europe.

The gang allegedly targeted people on remote roads, luring them with fake job offers before killing them and extracting their fat. The liquidized product fetched as much as $15,000 a liter, and police suspect it was sold to cosmetic companies in Europe.

At least five other suspects, including two Italian nationals, remain at large. Police said the gang could be behind the disappearances of up to 60 people in Peru's Huanuco and Pasco regions. One of those arrested told police the ringleader had been killing people for their fat for more than three decades. The gang has been referred to as the Pishtacos, after an ancient Peruvian legend of killers who attack people on lonely roads and murder them for their fat.

I mean, damn....THIRTY YEARS? Not even Hollywood could make up this stuff, folks....your thoughts?
