I figured that, in honor of my return to the wonderful world of blogging (thanks for the excellent job you’ve been doing, Rich!!!), I’d post something that many of you know is really close to my heart…
No, not that!!! I’m talking about…
…fried foods (particularly chicken). I think I might have just come across a brand new recipe:
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.
What I don’t get is why she didn’t just complete the process by flouring him and serving him up with some nice hot sides, a tossed salad, and some fresh bread. She could have invited his boys over (or whomever it was he liked to humiliate her in front of), and had a celebratory feast—all you can eat. I’ll bet it would have been delish.
I, for one, love a good Brazilian spread, washed down with a couple/three caipirinhas…
…(as Juan G. can attest).
Apparently, old girl wasn’t up on her Greek mythology. They were notorious for serving up cooked relatives to unsuspecting guests. She could learn a thing or two from the way they did it.
Plus, there wouldn’t have been any evidence.
