Gruesome Deaths and Attacks

Just some macabre news stories I've come across over the past several weeks:

    It was April 7, 2004, and Nacoça Pio was one of the first to learn of the bloodbath. A leader of the Cinta-Larga — an indigenous tribe who for centuries lived in isolation in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil — Pio knew that tensions were high between his people and the white diamond prospectors who came to make their fortunes in their backyard.

    The bodies of 26 miners had been found near their reservation. Some were shot with arrows, some murdered with guns or beaten with clubs. “Two of the bodies were missing their eyeballs, giving rise to rumors that the warriors had covered the victims’ eyes with honey to attract ants and bees,” Alex Cuadros writes in his new book, “When We Sold God’s Eye: Diamonds, Murder, and a Clash of Worlds in the Amazon”.

And:

The Cinta-Larga — who, legend has it, once shadowed an Amazon expedition led by Theodore Roosevelt in the early 20th century — were also cannibals, at least until the 1970s. The warriors “ate everything, even breaking the bones to suck the marrow,” Cuadros writes. When asked by an anthropologist what human flesh tastes like, they compared it to the “dark, delicious meat of the tapir,” Cuadros writes. White men, on the other hand—who the Cinta-Larga first encountered in the 1920s — were “far too salty.”

 Corpses, cut apart with machetes and set on fire, were strewn on the road. In the Valley of Bourdon, not far from the residence of the U.S. ambassador to Haiti and the prime minister’s office, more charred bodies littered the roadway. At Ruelle Rivière, where a well-known clinic was set on fire, residents also lynched several suspected gang members in what is known in Haiti as “Bwa Kale,” the name given to the citizens’ self-defense brigade movement.

    Jorge Beltrao Negromonte, his wife Cristina da Silveíra, and his mistress, Bruna da Silva, would join forces to lure unsuspecting young women to their lair before draining their blood and hacking their flesh into pieces like an animal sent to slaughter.

    But following a significant blunder, their twisted tale came to an end when Brazilian police were led to their residence and opened up a macabre Pandora's Box.

    From feeding one of their victim's daughter a chunk of her own mother's flesh, to selling pies stuffed with the meat of their human sacrifices to oblivious neighbours, MailOnline has taken a look at the vicious crimes carried out by the hands of those who became notoriously known as the Garanhuns Cannibals.
