Housewife Convicted of Frying Husband

SAO PAULO, Brazil (March 23) - A Brazilian housewife was convicted and sentenced to 19 years in prison Friday for killing her husband, chopping his body into small pieces and frying it. Rosanita Nery dos Santos, 52, drugged her husband in his sleep, then stabbed him to death two years ago in Salvador, about 900 miles northeast of Sao Paulo, said police spokesman Idmar Bonfim.

She then hacked Jose Raimundo Soares dos Santos' body into more than 100 pieces, which she boiled and fried before hiding in plastic bags beneath a staircase in her house, Bonfim said. He said police discovered the body parts after receiving an anonymous phone call.

Bonfim said the killing was either part of a black magic ritual or an attempt by the wife to collect life insurance worth about $34,000.

Citing testimony from the woman's relatives, he said she may also have committed the crime "to avenge many years of humiliation from her husband." He did not provide further details.

Santos denied killing her husband but said she chopped up his body, Bonfim said.

"She claims masked assailants entered her house, killed her husband and then forced her to cut up the body and fry it because that would prevent the stench of a decomposing body from alerting neighbors," he said.

Sister Alvear,
With all due respect, why would you post something so carnal, gory, and unedifying as this? I am really surprised that you posted this! It reminds me of a kind of trash TV sensationalism that is just for the sake of shocking people's sensibilities. Is there some connection to you or the Apostolic Church that this article has?

I really just don't get this. If we want our blood lust satisfied we can all just Google "death photos" or something. :thumbsdown

It is a news article, and she posted is as it occurred in Brazil.

:tiphat

Oh my!!!

I used to tease my husband that if I ever wanted to kill him I'd cut him up in little pieces and put him in the feezer...hidden among the beef! LOL

Amazing that people actually do this kind of thing.

Didn't that happen in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes?

Maybe she will be on the next "Snapped" show.:p

Every once in a while I will tune into that show just to antagonize my husband.

For those who don't watch tv, it is a show that is about women who "Take Care" of their husband....he he he!!

Can you google "death photos" on the television?

Oh yeah...I forgot...that was hilarious!!!

Yes you can.....do you realize that your computer is essentially a TV now a days??? I can watch TV on my computer and google whatever I want at the same time.

I don't see how it has any reedeming value or what it has to do with anything but to be grotesque. It really makes no difference where it happened.

Also, isn't there a "news" section for people who want to cut and paste "news?"
