Former members of a Colombian neo-paramilitary group claim to have killed and eaten men from rival factions.
But rather than facing justice for their actions, the men from an offshoot of the Popular Revolutionary Anti-Terrorist Army of Colombia (ERPAC), are living freely as government witnesses.
Three members of the Bloque Meta told a court in Villavicencio they had captured two rivals from Libertadores de Vichada, the Semana reports.
The footage obtained by Semana shows the men stabbing their victims to death
"We killed these guys, we chopped them up and cooked them in a pot with onions and tomatoes," the court heard.
Footage obtained by the newspaper shows a man being murdered and dismembered. It claims to have seen further video which reveals the assailants posing with limbs and placing them in a cooking pot.
The alleged attackers enjoy protection from the authorities in return for their agreement to testify against other members of their neo-paramilitary group.
