Burnt Bodies Mysteriously Found in Brazil
Brazilian police are investigating after nine bodies were mysteriously found in two houses in rural Bahia State.
Most of the bodies were burnt, and at least three were children.
"Five of the bodies were burned beyond recognition, two were partially burned, and two were not burned at all," police in Bahia State said on Monday, August 28, 2023.
Police said that a surviving child had been taken to the hospital with severe burns.
Police did not elaborate on the cause of death or the focus of the criminal investigation.
The bodies were found in two houses in Mata de Sao Joao, about 60 kilometers from Bahia's state capital, Salvador. Police have interviewed neighbors, family members, and friends of the victims.
The G1 news website raised the possibility of a settlement between rival drug gangs.
Bahia State recorded 6,600 murders last year.
This is the second-highest homicide rate in Brazil, at 47.1 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The national average homicide rate in Brazil is 23.4 per 100,000, according to the public security watchdog.
