Four people have been arrested in Peru on suspicion of killing1 dozens of people in order to sell their fat and tissue for cosmetic2 uses in Europe.

秘鲁四名疑犯被逮捕，他们涉嫌杀死几十个人，并将其脂肪和组织出售到欧洲做化妆品用。

The gang allegedly targeted people on remote roads, luring4（引诱，诱惑） them with fake job offers before extracting（提取，萃取） their fat to sell it for $15,000 (£9,000) a litre.

Other suspected gang members, including two Italian nationals, remain at large.

Police said the gang could be behind the disappearances5 of up to 60 people in the region.

At a news conference in the capital, police showed reporters two bottles containing human body fat and images of one of the alleged3 victims.

One of the alleged killings6 is reported to have taken place in mid-September, with the person's body tissue removed for sale.

Cmdr Angel Toledo told Reuters some of the suspects had "declared and stated how they murdered people with the aim being to extract their fat in rudimentary（基本的，初步的） labs and sell it".

Police said they suspect the fat was sold to cosmetics7 and pharmaceutical8（药物的） companies in Europe, but have not confirmed any such connection.

Gen Felix Burga, head of Peru's police criminal division, said there were indications that "an international network trafficking human fat" was operating from Peru.

The first person was arrested earlier this month in a bus station in Lima, carrying a shipment（装船，出货） of the fat.

The Associated Press news agency quoted Col Jorge Mejia as saying one of the suspects had described to police in detail how the victims were killed and their fat removed.

The suspect said the fat was then sold to intermediaries（仲裁者，调解者） in Lima and that the gang's leader, Hilario Cudena, had been carrying out such murders for decades, AP reported.

The alleged buyers of the fat are also being hunted by police.

The gang has been referred to as the Pishtacos, after an ancient Peruvian legend of killers11 who attack people on lonely roads and murder them for their fat.
