Brazil Police Find Decapitated Body of Murdered Journalist
The decapitated body of a blogger known for denouncing corrupt politicians has been found in a rural zone in southeastern Minas Gerais state, police said Wednesday.
Evany Jose Metzker, 67 was reported missing five days before his body was found near the town of Padre Paraiso in one of Brazil's poorest regions.
"His hands were tied behind his back and his body showed signs of torture," a police press officer said, adding that the murder was apparently motivated by Metzker's recent investigations into child prostitution and drug trafficking.
The officer spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to be quoted by name. He said police were also looking into the possibility that the murder was a crime of passion. He would not elaborate.
"It was a barbaric crime that has shocked Minas Gerais and all of Brazil," Kerison Lopes, president of the Minas Gerais Journalists Union said by telephone. "He was decapitated, scalped and tortured."
