Rio De Janeiro - Inmates ended a four-day prison rebellion in western Brazil yesterday morning when they killed six leaders of the uprising who had wanted to extend the stand-off in order to appear on television, police said.
Inmates stabbed the fellow prisoners to death with handmade weapons, decapitating the declared leader of the uprising, and freed nearly 150 family members still inside the prison who had been taken hostage, Lt Col Antonio Moraes, who was in charge of negotiations, said.
