Five die in Guatemala prison riot

Channel 4 News

At least five inmates have died in a brutal prison fight between gang members in Guatemala.

Emergency services said the prisoners at the Pavoncito prison, in the town of Fraijanes some 70 km south of the capital, mutilated and decapitated rivals, putting a head on a stick in a gruesome sight that could be seen from outside the prison.

Other heads lay on the ground inside the compound.

The rioting began when prisoners were transferred to the Pavoncito jail on Friday from another jail.

My word, what's with the beheading fetish. Head on a stick?

Can we place all the prisoners at Guantanamo here please.
