RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Local media reported that a man was killed, dismembered, and thrown to the pigs this Sunday in Uruguay after arguing with another individual in the capital Montevideo.
Police had been alerted to a fierce argument at a pig farm located in the Colón neighborhood, which allegedly ended with at least one person injured. Upon arrival at the scene, police officers found a 26-year-old man sitting on a chair and covered in blood.
Inside the farm, the police found the dismembered remains of a person, which the animals were ingesting.
The man sitting at the entrance confessed that he killed the subject after an argument, dismembered him with a grinder, and threw him to the pigs.
According to the newspaper El Observador, the murderer had a record for especially aggravated theft and had been released from prison a short time ago. He is now in custody and at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the courts.
The victim has not yet been identified, and the Scientific Police are working on the scene.
THE FIGHT AGAINST CRIME
