Police Quizzed After Hostage Drama

The final minutes of a tragic and disastrous hostage taking in Brazil are played out on live television.

As police moved in to the apartment in Sao Paulo to try and end the four-day drama 15-year-old Eloa Rodrigues was shot in the head and her friend was shot in the mouth.

Relatives say 22-year-old Lindenberg Alves took both girls hostage on Monday.

The 15-year-old had just ended their three-year relationship.

On Wednesday police persuaded the man to release the friend. But two days later she was returned to the apartment by police.

Alves had apparently promised to release Rodrigues if the friend was brought back to him.

Instead he shot both girls.

He's now been taken into custody.

Doctors say the friend is in a satisfactory condition but Rodrigues isn't expected to survive.

Many are now questioning the police's actions and demanding an inquiry.
