Jon did warn everyone to take this story cum grano salis some weeks ago when it first appeared, and when it comes to issues of adiposity he certainly knows his onions.
Peru's police chief has suspended a top investigator for saying he had caught a gang who were murdering people to sell their fat. Last month, top organised crime investigator Felix Murga said police had arrested four suspects who confessed to murdering up to 60 people. He said they were selling their fat for thousands of dollars a litre. But the macabre tale now appears to be nothing more than a tall story - or a big fat lie. see whole story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8389901.stm
As The Diversions would say "Hey fatty bum bum, sweet sugar dumpling" Which incidentally was favourite reggae track in Winstons Bar.
