Mutilated body parts wash ashore next to Rio Olympics venue

Parts of a mutilated body washed up on the shore of Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday afternoon. This is the same beach where the beach volleyball competition will take place for the upcoming Olympics.

According to the details provided, the body which washed ashore was badly mutilated and by the looks of it, it seemed as if someone had tortured the person before killing him. The parts of body were first seen and reported by a Rio street vendor who immediately went to the police to report the incident.

Rio de Janeiro is marred with incidents of violence and crimes and the upcoming Olympic games in the city will prove to be a challenge amid the precarious financial and political situation of the country. The county is also going through a very bad phase of recession and a financial emergency has been declared by the current governor of the city.

Despite celebrating the first Olympics to be ever held in South America, the games will prove to be a challenge to be held if the money does not come through. The Olympics, which are scheduled to begin on August 5, were supposed to showcase a booming Brazil but that boom has fizzled out in Latin America’s biggest country.

Now the country awaits an emergency funding of $892 million to ensure that public services are provided during the course of the Olympic games.
