Hoax: Cops woke up the legend to cover up some killin' of their own:
So, the police officers in question who were anxious to cover up dozens of murders, invoked the myth of a creepy mythical vampire who had a taste for human fat.
And the police officers were quite descriptive. They told reporters that the victims were targeted on remote roads and lured with the promise of a job to a hut in the jungle. The victims were then bludgeoned to death and their heads, arms and legs were cut off, according to the police. Their internal organs were discarded and then candles were placed underneath the bodies to melt the fat, which dripped into containers, presumably plastic coke bottles.
Many questioned the story from the beginning, because there is no market for human body fat. And the organs would be worth millions on the black market, but they were discarded according to the police.
Now, Peru’s police chief has fired General Felix Murga, who apparently engineered the arrests of the four alleged fat killers and taped the fake confession last month. The police chief now believes that only one of the arrested fat killers is guilty of murder. And that the killing is linked to the cocaine trade.
The fat in the coke bottles may have been used as a stunt to intimidate rivals in the drug trade. |
