Eight Brazilian police officers have been arrested after security camera footage showed two teenagers being murdered as officers in a police car parked metres away apparently did nothing.
The footage, which was shown on Brazilian television, showed two men on a motorcycle gunning down two youngsters in the popular Bras neighbourhood of Sao Paulo.
Images from a separate camera show that at the time of the murders, a military police vehicle was parked around 50m away from where the victims were shot.
Police on patrol in a shantytown in Rio After the shooting it was seen simply driving off in scenes that the Civilian Police Director of Sao Paulo described as "shocking".
She said: "We are working to find the third youth who was seen in the images and managed to flee."
The arrests came as police in Rio de Janeiro arrested three men in connection with the rape of an American student on a minibus.
The 21-year-old, who was studying in the city, was subjected to a horrific six-hour sex attack on the vehicle as her French boyfriend was forced to look on.
The couple boarded the bus in Copacabana and headed to Lapa, a trendy area home to popular bars and dance clubs.

They then proceeded to beat the young man with a metal bar and rape the young woman as they rode around the city.
The incidents will be a damaging blow to Brazil, which is seeking to improve its image on crime, ahead of the World Cup next year and the Olympic Games, which will be hosted in Rio in 2016.
Sao Paul has seen a surge in violent crime in recent years and police in the country have been accused of excessive use of force and taking bribes from drugs gangs.
