Funerals have been held for two girls hit by stray bullets in Brazil, whose families fear they were killed by military police.

Emily dos Santos, four, and her cousin Rebeca dos Santos, seven, were shot on Friday evening as they played outside their homes in Duque De Caxias in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area.

They are the seventh and eighth children under 12 to die after being hit by stray bullets in the area this year, according to non-governmental organisation Fogo Cruzado, or Crossfire.
