The number of people known to have been killed in a deadly police raid in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday has risen to 132, officials say.
The police raid was the deadliest in the city, where authorities have for decades tried to contain the gangs which control many of its poorer neighbourhoods.
Asked about the figure given by the public defender's office, Rio state Governor Cláudio Castro said that forensic work was still under way and that until it had concluded, the official figure which he had been given was of 58 dead, although it was "certain to change".
Among those expressing shock about the death toll was Brazil's President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
According to Brazil's justice minister, Lula was "astonished" and also expressed his surprise that the federal government had not been informed beforehand.
