Police believe Francesco Raccosta - who disappeared from his home in Calabria back in 2012 - was kidnapped by rival mobsters and fed alive to a herd of pigs.

Francesco Raccosta, who vanished without a trace from his home in Calabria in March 2012, is now believed to have been kidnapped by opposition mobsters.

They then severely beat him before throwing him into a herd of pigs - who swiftly ate his body as he screamed and begged for mercy.

Cops say they found out about his fate earlier this month while investigating the southern 'Ndrangheta mafia organization.

Officers claim 24-year-old Simone Pepe was wire-tapped boasting about Raccosta's murder.

"It was satisfying to hear his screams. Mamma mia how he screamed!...In the end I didn't see anything...nothing remained!" The Local reports Pepe as gloating.

Il Fatto Quotidiano reports that the murder was said to be revenge for Raccosta killing another mafia boss.

The feud between the two clans dated back to the 1950s, it added.

Brick Top approves, though he appears to generally use this method to dispose of the body, not for the actual murder.

John Wayne - True Grit (the best version)
You testified you backed away from old man Wharton.
- Yes, sir. - Which direction?

Backward! I always go backward when I’m backing away!

I appreciate the humour of that remark.
Aaron Wharton was standing by a pot when you arrived?

More like squatting. He was stirring the fire under the pot.

- How far did you back away? - Six, eight steps.

Meaning Wharton advanced the same distance? Six or eight steps?
- Sixteen feet?
- Something like that.

Then explain why the body was found by the wash pot, one arm in the flames, the sleeve and hand smouldering.

Them hogs! They may have moved the body.

We get rid of our debris by backing up a wood chipper to a catfish pond. Best to freeze first. Catfish gullets will dissolve anything and no trace will be left behind.


Guess you won’t trade your chipper for my back hoe......

Hey the Irish joked about what county they came from
The Germans didn’t joke at all LOL
The Italians gave each sh*t about region they
came from
Calabrese —capitosto stubborn (as opposed to stupid)
Sicilian — jealous always carried a knife
Napoletane —either cooking or singing (or both at th same time
Northerner —just that they were stuck up
Actually the only northerners I knew were Genoese
who in New York were the ladies who cleaned the offices
before the Polish & Eastern European ladies cornered the market. There cooking was different, but I kind of like polenta.

Maybe that is why when I went to boot camp in 1962 some of the boys from Texas would say things like, “That’s the most fun I’ve had since the hogs ate my sister.”

LOL! I can believe they said that. Whenever I would ask my teen age east Texas cousins where my aunt was they would always reply “she went to poop and the hogs ‘et ‘er”. Only they didn't say poop. :)

There were so many feral hogs up there that when we visited they would never let me go outside alone. So I guess someones sister was eaten by hogs!
