Arrests made in ring that sold human fat

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/11/20/fat.dead.humans.peru/index.html

In Peru, authorities have arrested four members of a gang that are said to have specialized in the selling of fat off of dead humans. On Wednesday, the nation's attorney general stated that they are investigating the disappearance of at least 60 people that they believe may have been killed by this gang in several states in Peru. Four suspects have been charged with murder, while two of those four, were arrested leaving a transport building with a plastic container full of human fat. It is being said that the fat was being sold in Europe as well as Peru, and was being used for commercial purposes.
What is wrong with this picture. I had no idea that human fat was even valuable. YUCK! What would make someone kill for the fat of another, and why would make someone else pay for that fat? This is disturbing on so many levels. I know that people will kill for a lot of things, some for nothing more than laughs, but to take someones life for this.
I do not believe that violence is a good thing, let alone murder. I mean, I do understand wars and things of that nature, but to just commit murder for no other reason than just to do it. Part of me thinks that maybe it is time to reinstall the open firing line, the one that takes place in town square, in public view. I am a true believer in the death penalty, and also do believe that everyone who takes a life, for no reason, should in turn lose theirs. I think that it is time to make it public, to an extent, we need to put the fear back into the consequences of breaking the law.
People should not have to fear other people, and the fact that it is getting harder to trust your neighbors is ridiculous.
