In Peru last week the police claimed to have arrested a gang that has killed people, and then extracted fat from the corpses in their laboratory. The fat was then sold on the black market for 15000 dollars a liter, making the travel all the way from the remote Peruvian jungle to European cosmetic clinics.
While professionals in the field of plastic surgery doubt the alleged use (and the demand for human fat on the black marked), three of the suspects have confessed to killing five victims for their fat.
