A macabre crime shook the Brazilian state of Acre, in the northwest of the country, when a woman confessed to having murdered her husband, mutilated his body, and consumed part of his genitals cooked with beans. The controversial case, which has caused a stir both in Brazil and in international media, occurred after discovering that her husband was looking at women on social media and consuming adult content.
The victim, a 37-year-old man whose identity was not publicly disclosed, had been reported missing by his family. His body was found days later, abandoned a few blocks from the home he shared with his wife. The body showed evident signs of mutilation, as confirmed by local authorities.
During the initial investigation, the woman—whose identity has also not been revealed—offered inconsistent statements, which raised suspicions among the Civil Police of Acre officers. Finally, after days of inquiry, the wife confessed to being the perpetrator of the crime, motivated, in her own words, by "revenge."
