The police recently arrested a lesbian mum in Brazil for castrating her nine-year-old son Rhuan before beheading him with the help of her lesbian partner. The gruesome murder occurred because little Rhuan reminded her of his dad, who happened to be her father.

 

The mum, Rosana Cândido, 27, and her lesbian partner, Kacyla Pessoa, 28, reportedly stabbed the boy over a dozen times. They also removed all the skin from his face before butchering his body.

 

 

They also supposedly used a knife to try to gouge out Rhuan’s eyeballs to prevent possible recognition. Also, in a failed attempt to burn him on a barbecue, they stuffed his remains in a suitcase which they dumped in a sewer, the police said.

 

The police found other body parts in two backpacks at the couple’s home.

 

The pair confessed to the murder and mutilation of the boy at their home in Samambaia, about 20 miles from the capital Brasilia.

 

They face charges of homicide, torture and concealing a corpse.

 

In addition to this allegation, they face the accusation of castrating Rhuan’s p*nis a year before the murder. Candido told investigators that they had torn off his p*nis during horrifying home-made surgery. Metro reports they also used ‘rudimentary tools’ because Rhuan ‘wanted to become a girl.’

 

Local reports disclose: “After removing the p*nis, the women said they sewed an improvised version of the female organ onto the mutilated area.”

 

Candido told investigators that her son was a ‘burden’ and a hindrance to her relationship with Pessoa. She added that she ‘felt hatred and no love’ for him because he reminded her of her father, who allegedly abused her.

 

Rhuan’s dad, who lives in Acre, told investigators that Cândido ran away with their son five years before. This was after he lost custody of the lad.

 

After this, she moved in with Pessoa and her daughter, now nine years old. Her daughter was subsequently put into care.

 

Police chief Guilherme Melo told O Tempo:

“She killed her son, quartered, decapitated, plucked the skin and tried to get rid of the body. It was a very terrible case.”
