It is reported that the Peruvian police cracked a shocking criminal group on June 5438+09, which was suspected of killing innocent people, pumping out the oil of the victims and selling "human oil" overseas to make cosmetics, which is simply a realistic version of the French classic horror movie Perfume.
One liter of human oil can be sold for $65,438 +0.5 million.
On June 9, Colonel Jorge Megia, a Peruvian police officer in charge of cracking down on kidnapping activities, said that four suspects of the gang had been detained. At present, there are still seven gang members at large, including 56-year-old gang leader Hilario Gugna and two Italians. Three of the suspects admitted to killing at least five victims and sold the extracted body fat to the "middleman" in the capital Lima, while the police suspected that they actually killed more than 60 people. Jorge Sans Kiros, the prosecutor of the case, told AFP that the buyer may use human fat for commercial purposes in a "European (plastic surgery) laboratory".
According to the indictment submitted by the prosecution to the Lima High Court, the three suspects were charged with murder, conspiracy to commit crimes, illegal possession of weapons and drug smuggling. According to the suspect, every liter of human body fat can be sold to 1.5 million dollars.
Peruvian police held a press conference in Lima to inform the progress of the case. The police showed reporters the bottle that the suspect used to store human fat liquid and the photo of a 27-year-old victim's rotting head.
The police named this criminal gang "Pishta Coase". Long before Columbus arrived in America, the legend of "Pishta Coase" circulated in the Andes of South America. The original meaning of this word is "decapitation, throat cutting or mid-year". It is said that "Pishta Coase" is a cold-blooded witch who kills people at night with a machete and extracts fat, and then processes it into lubricants and ointments. Or sell human flesh as food.
Follow someone [something] according to some clues
According to media reports, there have been many cases of missing persons in Peru in recent months. Four months ago, the police got a tip that someone had killed someone in the Peruvian jungle, and liposuction was sold in Lima. The police infiltrated the gang in August and managed to get some amber liquid. The police laboratory has proved that these liquids are human fat.
Felix Bulga, the head of criminal offences of the Peruvian police, said that a criminal network selling human fat "surfaced" about two months ago. The police 1 65438+1arrested the suspects Serapio Marcos Beramendi and Enedina Estra at a bus stop in Lima on October 3, and found1liter of human body fat from a glass bottle they were carrying. According to their testimony, the police conducted a search and found a body and a bottle full of oil in a house in the oldest Spanish city in Latin America, and found the victim's scattered head and limbs in the Woods in the northeast of the city. Another suspect, Castilla, was detained.
According to the description in the prosecution's indictment, the criminal gang committed crimes in remote Andean areas, coaxing some farmers and indigenous people into offering them jobs and then killing them. The police showed the media that criminal groups hid fat in used mineral water bottles and kettles, and said that the detainees had "completely confessed and explained how to murder the victims and how to extract fat and sell it in a simple laboratory."
Castilians confessed that they first cut off the victim's head and limbs, took out the internal organs, then hung the trunk, baked it with candles, and received the refined oil in barrels. He told the police that the leader of the gang, Guna, had been killing people and liposuction for more than 30 years, and his gang was not the only one who did so.
This year alone, at least 60 people have disappeared in the province of Vanuco, where the gang is active. The police did not confirm whether these disappearances were related to this gang, because some drug trafficking gangs also operated in this area, and this area is also the activity area of the terrorist organization Shining Path. The police are investigating the case further, searching for other members of the gang and the so-called buyers.
Experts questioned
The police speculated that the final destination of these body fats may be a European cosmetics production company. At present, animal fat is widely used in cosmetics production in various countries, but there are rumors that cosmetics made of human fat can make the skin softer and more delicate. In fact, there is no scientific basis, and medical experts have questioned the use of human body fat and even the existence of international black market.
Lisa D'Onofrio, a professor of dermatology at Yale University in the United States, speculated that there might be a small-scale black market of human body fat for skin softening surgery, but this practice lacked scientific basis and was "pure nonsense".
Neil Sadik, a professor of dermatology at Weil College of Medicine, Cornell University, told the Associated Press that human fat can be used for wrinkle removal surgery, but autologous fat is usually used instead of allogenic fat for liposuction. If you use fat from foreign bodies, it may "cause immune system rejection, leading to serious life-threatening consequences."
Adam Katz, a professor of plastic surgery at Virginia Medical College, also questioned the existence of this fat black market. Katz said that most countries have volunteers to donate fat, so it is easy to get it. "The black market of human body fat is meaningless," Katz said. Xinhua News Agency Yang Zong
