They Weren't Kidding When They Said Dieting Could Save Your Life

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. According to the police, the liquidized product went for over $50,000 a gallon.

The gang targeted people on remote roads, luring them with fake job offers before killing them and extracting their fat. The group 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.
