In a plot stolen straight out of "Hannibal", Italian police are saying that Calabrian mobsters recently murdered a mafia don by beating the man with a spade and then throwing him into a sty, where he was eaten alive by pigs.
Francesco Raccosta, the don of the Ndrangheta crime family in Calabria, disappeared last year amidst whispers that he had been responsible for the murder of a rival mob boss, Domenico Bonarrigo, of the Mazzagatti family.
Bonarrigo was shot and killed while driving his car. Eleven days later, Raccosta disappeared without a trace.
Italian police sent in an undercover officer to investigate and made the gory results public this month.

(36,444 posts)Brick Top: You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.
Sol: Would someone mind telling me, who are you?
Brick Top: And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig."

Real criminals before this mafia mess have used pigs to hide crimes.

You know what I mean, Vern?

(39,961 posts)but I'd take pedophile eaten by pigs for a thousand, Chuck, especially if they are already dead. Disturbing and disgusting, but no more so than what they do to small children, and for that, I am less than inclined to care.

Cleita
(75,480 posts)The writing wasn't very tight so I suspect that's why they canceled it. The characters and historical background had promise and the actors were good, but the stories sometimes didn't make sense.

(29,414 posts)However, I did like Ripper Street better anyway. I thought the writing was much better, and even though the violence was on the same level, there didn't seem to be as much of it. I'll have to look to see if it's coming back or not.
Cleita
(75,480 posts)I did like the setting of he show and the characters. It could have used better writers.
kentauros
(29,414 posts)but I didn't like it that much. The violence was just too over the top (and too much of it), like watching a Sam Peckinpah movie.
The second season of Ripper Street has been produced and aired on BBC, but BBC America still hasn't gotten it yet that I could determine.
