Brazilian policemen arrested over Sao Paulo shooting spree

9 October 2015

Police in Brazil have arrested nine of their fellow officers suspected of carrying out a series of killings on the outskirts of Sao Paulo.

Investigators say they were probably seeking revenge after the shooting of an off-duty policeman during a robbery in the area.

Nineteen people were killed within several hours on 13 August.

Witnesses in various locations said masked gunmen pulled up in a car before opening fire.

In many cases they checked the victims' names before shooting or asked if they had criminal records.

(As you see, no one has decide to try to lay the responsibility for this police filth fest at the feet of the current administration. That would be so stupid, wouldn't it?)
