1988, Southern Brazil. A mutilated man’s body is discovered. The seasoned examining coroner wrote: “The lips and face had been cut away. The eyes, ears, and tongue had been removed. Neat round holes, one to one and a half inch in diameter, had been made on the shoulders, arms, head, stomach, anus, tissue and muscle had been extracted. The holes had not been made through which extensive digestive organs had been extracted. The scrotum, but not the penis had been removed, and all the pubic hair had disappeared. The rectum had been cored out. Despite these devastating mutilations, there was no sign that the victim had been bound or had struggled in any way.”
