Most people are dying to get rid of their extra body fat, but some criminals believe your fat quite valuable. So valuable that they’d kill you for it! For at least one Peru gang, fat is big business. Or so they hope.

Authorities in Peru say gang members are killing people so they can sell the victim’s body fat for use in the cosmetics industry. Experts say there wouldn’t be much demand for this fat, as huge amounts of body fat are available from liposuction and other similar cosmetic surgery, so the criminals will probably not benefit much from their murderous fat harvesting. Hopefully somebody will tip them off to this, so no more innocent lives are lost!
