A terrible family tragedy occurred in Brazil. 33-year-old Dayane Cristina Rodrigues Machado was arrested on charges of killing her husband Andre and then cutting off his genitals and frying them in oil.
The incident took place on June 7 in the city of Sao Goncalo, near Rio de Janeiro. When police teams were called to the couple's home in the Santa Catarina neighborhood, they found Andre's lifeless body naked and dismembered.
According to police sources, the woman took her husband's severed genitals to the kitchen and fried them in soybean oil. Investigation teams believe the murder was committed around 4 a.m. after the couple had a violent argument about their separation.
A kitchen knife found at the scene is believed to have been used in the murder. Dayane Machado was arrested on charges of "murder" and "disrespecting the integrity of a corpse."
The couple had a 10-year relationship. Although they had been living separately for the past two years, they continued to see each other from time to time. The couple had an 8-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter, and they made a living from the pizzeria they operated together. It is not yet known whether the children were at home during the incident.
According to the UOL news agency, the couple met at a bar on the night of the incident, and an argument broke out between them. Dayane's lawyer, Carla Policarpo, claimed that her client acted in self-defense, alleging that Andre had threatened the woman.
However, Andre's sister, Adriana Santos, claimed that Dayane killed her brother out of revenge for being cheated on. Family members stated that the couple often fought and that Dayane had previously reported her husband to the police.
According to the lawyer, Andre had threatened the woman by saying, "If you can't be with me, you can't be with anyone else." Local media reported that Dayane regretted her actions and voluntarily surrendered to the police after the murder.
It is still unclear whether the suspect will undergo a mental health evaluation. The investigation is ongoing in all aspects.
