Relatives and friends react in the funeral of the investigator Mario Marcelo de Albuquerque in Vitoria, capital of Espirito Santo state, Brazil, on Feb. 8, 2017. Brazil’s armed forces on Wednesday took over security operations in the southeastern state of Espirito Santo, after a police strike sparked rampant violence. Five days into the strike, the murder rate has spiked, with 90 homicides registered since Saturday, when officers renounced their duties to demand higher wages and better working conditions, news agency Globo reported on its website.
