A Policeman in Brazil has shot and killed a garbage collector after mistaking the Bible he was carrying for a gun.
Police on Friday told reporters that Antonio Marcos dos Santos was stopped by police as he was heading to church in the city of Avare.
When he raised his hands, a police officer saw a bulge in his pocket and, thinking it was a gun, opened fire.
The police officer will remain in detention pending the outcome of an investigation.
