Members of tribe in Brazil protest after murder suspects released
Posted: Thursday, July 5, 2012
Upwards of 50 to 60 members of the Munduruku Tribe reportedly burned down a police station in Brazil after two murder suspects were released.
Tribal members reportedly attacked the police station with bows and arrows. One officer was reportedly hit with an arrow.
The protest came after two of four people who are accused of murdering a Munduruku man were released from jail. The man was killed during an armed robbery last month.
