SATISFYING THE NEEDS OF WRINKLED COMMIES

A GANG of killers who murdered to steal their victims' body fat have been arrested in Peru.
Police said the three people held in the jungle province of Huanuco confessed to five killings and said they could sell one litre of fat for £10,000 to the cosmetic industry.
The men said the fat was sold to intermediaries in Lima, who police suspect sold it to companies in Europe.
Police have found the head of one victim and several bottles of fat, which they displayed at a news conference.
Suspect Elmer Segundo Castillejos, 29, led police to the head last month, police said.
He also gave gruesome details of how they cut off their victims' heads, arms and legs and removed organs.
They then suspended the torsos from hooks and warmed the flesh, so the fat dripped into jars below.
It is believed six members of the gang are still at large, including leader Hilario Cudena, 56, who Castillejos said had been killing people to extract human fat for more than 30 years.
Medical authorities said last night human fat is used in anti-wrinkle treatments - but is always extracted from the patient, usually from the stomach or buttocks.
There would be a risk of reaction that could lead to lifethreatening consequences if fat from someone else were used, said dermatology professor Dr Neil Sadick.

I can give them a good deal: $50/lb.
“Hey, lets kill people for their fat”.
“Um, how about we start a liposuction clinic, and people will PAY us to give us their fat?”
Thinking...
“Nah, get your gun.”
