Bolsonaro and son blast probe of Brazil hit man killed by police

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and his son on Tuesday hurled criticism at state authorities investigating the death of an alleged hit man who was suspected of involvement in the murder of a well-known Rio de Janeiro councilwoman.  Far-right Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the president's eldest son, suggested alleged "militia" leader Adriano Magalhães da Nóbrega, killed earlier this month in a shootout with police, had been tortured in the leftist-controlled state of Bahia. He also shared a graphic 21-second video that appeared to show the autopsy of Nóbrega, a former Rio police officer. "Forensics of Bahia (a Workers Party administration) say it is not possible to say whether Adriano was tortured," Flavio Bolsonaro wrote on Twitter, before describing alleged broken bones and burn marks on the corpse
