The repulsive stench of death hits one from far away. But it is only when you get closer that you discover the full enormity of the brutality that took place there. It’s a scene straight from hell.

There is a body here, another there and as far as the eye can see. In fact, bodies are strewn over a five-kilometre stretch, some lying between the huge black volcanic rocks.
