Cops shoot dead two men including hostage victim 'then alter crime scene to make it look like self-defence'

WARNING DISTRESSING FOOTAGE: Shocking CCTV appears to show a police officer firing bullets through a car windscreen in an alleged attempt to make it appear like a firefight



Extraordinary footage shows the moment police shot dead two men including a hostage victim before allegedly interfering with the crime scene to make it look like self-defence.



Tiago Ribeiro Messias was forced to drive his car at gunpoint by an armed robber who held him up at his country home before he was shot dead by officers near a petrol station.



CCTV shows police opening fire on the vehicle at close range and later two dead bodies, identified as Tiago and the robber, inside and outside of the car.



Tiago, who officers mistook for the robber, is seen slumped over the wheel of his car before being carried from the vehicle and placed in the boot of an ambulance.
