‘Cannibal’ prisoners boast of barbecuing HUMAN flesh in shocking video at ‘lawless’ Brazilian jail where drug gang riots led to beheadings and violent murders
Prisoners brag they’re feasting on dismembered bodies of rivals they hacked to death in cold blood
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.
A notorious gang is believed to have carried out the “killing spree” at Monte Cristo Prison, Boa Vista in the Brazlian state of Roraima earlier this month.
Horrific images taken inside the jail posted online shows the bloody aftermath of the slaughter.
One of the snaps show inmates mutilated and piled over each other after being butchered to death.
Officers and heavily armed military-like riot squad were deployed to stem the violence.
