Mudslides triggered by heavy rain in a mountain town near Rio de Janeiro have killed 13 people and others may be missing.
"They've recovered four more bodies this afternoon," said a spokesman for the town's Civil Defence. He said the total of dead had reached 13 and rescuers were still digging in case more bodies were buried under the mud.
Picturesque Teresopolis, a popular weekend getaway spot in the hills about 60 miles north of Rio de Janeiro, was hit with torrential rains late on Saturday.
