Beheading, it's the new thing.

Sunday in a southern Brazilian prison, authorities said.

Inmates of the prison in the city of Cascavel took at least two agents and several other inmates hostage in the uprising, said military police captain Ricardo Pinto. He said negotiations for better conditions in the prison were still under way 12 hours later.

Prisoners set some objects on fire and were using metal poles to cause damage to the 928-bed prison that housed more than 1,000 inmates at the time.

Authorities initially reported that two men were decapitated, but later learned of a third prisoner who was killed the same way. The three men were not identified.
