"Arrests made in ring that sold human fat, Peru says"
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/11/20/fat.dead.humans.peru/index.html
Just a warning: this article is a little revolting. Peruvian authorities have arrested several men in connection to black market sales of human fat. All the men have confessed to partaking in the volatile trade, and now nearly 60 missing persons are possible being linked with incident. One man even confessed to murdering individuals for five years for the trading purposes. To top it all off, these men weren't selling the fat to someone in South America. No, no, no that would be much too predictable. Instead, they appear to be involved with laboratories in Europe, for what reason or purpose nobody knows. That last fact is very perplexing to me. South Americans have myths and native rituals that might stereotypically be associated with the selling and using of the human body, but modern day Europe? The whole story is absolutely appalling, right up there with the story about the albino murders in Africa I wrote about not too long ago. Hopefully these arrests are the first steps to putting a halt to the tragic trade.
