"This week many Peruvians, as well as the international community, were in shock over allegations that a criminal gang killed people - perhaps as many as 60 – to extract the fat from their bodies to sell it to companies that make cosmetics.
However, many people are expressing doubts on this horror story, especially Peruvian citizens over 40, who have seen the “pishtaco” Andean myth jump to the Peruvian press headlines every few years during all their lives.
In the mythology of Andean cultures, a “pishtaco” (or nakaq) is a devil that kills people to steal their body fat, which was allegedly very highly priced many years ago for cosmetics and medicinal uses."
