Cannibal prisoners feast of flesh of fellow inmate in Brazilian prison where 26 were killed

 Prisoners have been filmed allegedly cooking the flesh of fellow inmates over a barbecue during a 10-day riot which has seen 26 men killed.

In the sick video the cannibals show off pieces of meat on a skewer over a bonfire, claiming they're toasting the remains of a rival without even bothering to hide their faces.The footage was recorded at Alcacuz Prison in the north eastern Brazilian city of Natal which is in the midst of a bloody riot as rival gangs attack each other.


The bodies of some prisoners have been returned to their loved ones with their heads missing after they were decapitated.

Only 22 victims of the horrific violence had been identified so far, with forensic experts still trying to determine who two heads, a forearm, an arm and a leg removed by the prison grounds belonged to.
 No footage of the inmates eating members of rival gangs has emerged, and authorities said they had no evidence to show cannibalism had taken place.

But fears unidentified inmates whose partial remains had been removed from the prison had ended up in the stomachs of their rivals are not expected to dissipate until police regain full control of the jail.

Elite military police are expected to move in shortly to help jail guards take inmates back to their cells and finally restore full order to the prison.

The prisoners filmed preparing their barbecue were said to belong to an Amazon drug gang called the Family of the North and a Rio de Janeiro-based drugs gang called the Red Command.

The man whose meat they claimed to be barbecuing was said to be a member of the Sao Paulo-based PCC or First Capital Command which kept the peace for years with the Red Command before their loose alliance fell apart last year and resulted in a spate of prison killings.

One of the bare-chested inmates pictured in the video, who made no attempt to hide his face, shouted out repeatedly: “Churrasco do PCC” - Portuguese for “PCC Steak.”

Another, who was brandishing a machete-style knife and had several front teeth missing, said: "And this is only the beginning."

Pointing towards the meat on a skewer, he added: "Today it was us and they paid."
