Twelve bodies were found buried in a clandestine cemetery in a forested area in Lucas do Rio Verde (MT). The bodies were located with the help of a Fire Department sniffer dog.
According to the Civil Police, last week ten graves were found with 11 bodies. The searches continued and, last Monday (13), another bone was located, totaling 12 bodies.
