CANNIBALISTIC inmates at a Brazilian jail rocked by murderous infighting between drugs gangs brag about barbecuing human flesh in this sick video.

Horrifying footage shows prisoners gloating as they claim to be showing off pieces of meat on a skewer over a bonfire.

They boast they were toasting the remains of a rival and those claiming to be gorging on flesh don’t even bother to hide their faces.

The video was recorded at Alcacuz Prison in the north eastern city of Natal, where at least 26 inmates have been killed in riots which started ten days ago.

The bodies of some prisoners have been returned to their loved ones with their heads missing after they were decapitated.

Only 22 victims of the horrific violence had been identified by yesterday.

Forensic experts are still trying to determine who two heads, a forearm, an arm and a leg removed from the prison grounds belonged to.

No actual footage has emerged of the inmates chopping up and eating members of rival gangs.

And authorities said they had no evidence to show cannibalism had taken place.

But fears unidentified inmates whose partial remains had been removed from the prison have been gobbled up by rivals are likely to grow until cops regain control.

Elite military police are expected to move in shortly to help jail guards take inmates back to their cells and finally restore full order to the prison.

The prisoners filmed preparing their barbecue were said to belong to an Amazon drug gang called the Family of the North and a Rio de Janeiro-based drugs gang called the Red Command.

The man whose meat they claimed to be barbecuing was said to be a member of the Sao Paulo-based PCC or First Capital Command which kept the peace for years with the Red Command before their loose alliance fell apart last year, resulting in a spate of prison killings.

One of the bare-chested inmates pictured in the video, who made no attempt to hide his face, shouted out repeatedly: “Churrasco do PCC” - Portuguese for “PCC Steak.”

Another, who was brandishing a machete-style knife and had several front teeth missing, said: “And this is only the beginning.”

Pointing towards the meat on a skewer, he added: “Today it was us and they paid.”

One of the men even made a V for Victory sign to the mobile phone being used to film the scene.

 It was not clear if a group of men on a rooftop overlooking the bonfire were members of the same gang or rivals.
