Brazil: man stabs another to death, then gets cut to four pieces (possible hoax)

This isn't a hoax, but a tragic accident.

It's a little known fact that quartering's happen by accident much more often than most people realize.

Accidents, in general, happen quite often anyway. Only the day before yesterday I tripped over the vacuum cleaner flex and nearly fell over. Could have been very nasty if I'd been at the top of the stairs.

I guess, since at the bottom of the stairs you can be attacked by quartering Daleks?
 
Those sink plungers can give you a nasty suck. As for the whisks...

I wouldn't like you to think I'm trivializing this tragic stabbing-quartering accident, though, which seems to have become such a feature of contemporary soccer.
 
Some more news:

One of the killers of the referee was arrested. His name is Luis Sousa Moraes. Photo taken at the police office:

I also read that the lynching and quartering was filmed by cell phones and ended up on various video sites. :/

How is it not obvious that this is a joke? "They then put his head on a stake and planted it in the middle of the pitch", ferchrissake.

So it turns out I was wrong. Also, the world. Wrongness all round.

The reason why I couldn't see it being fake is that it's just too directly brutal. There doesn't seem to be a punchline and sadly, from what I know, it's not that far outside of the normal level of brutality associated with soccer rowdiness.

Quartering isn't outside the normal level of brutality associated with soccer rowdiness?

Who the hell quarters people anymore?
 
Well, to be fair, by "quartering", here, they mean cut his arms and legs off at the elbows and knees. And his head at the neck. (At least that's what I saw on a video of him in a hospital.)

So perhaps not quartering in the traditional sense of the word. But close enough.

See, I was thinking that "put his head on a stake and planted it in the middle of the pitch" was a pretty strong punchline. In fact, that was what initially sold me on it being a joke; if it had just been "then they hacked him to bits", I might have remained non-committal.

...and sadly, from what I know, it's not that far outside of the normal level of brutality associated with soccer rowdiness.

Still... I mean... quartering!
 
What took this forum like a day to post this story?
 
Well originally i saw this story on the Greek part of yahoo news. It seemed way too unreal, so i tried to check if foreign sites of repute carried it as well, but at that moment no really famous news outlet did.

At first i thought that the story was a hoax so as to divert attention from the normal crap going on all over the world, including the riots in Brazil :/
 
I still think it's an elaborate hoax.

We have large protests, there haven't actually been any riots at all. :smug:
 
Some translation of the police announcement i found on another forum:

portuguese speaker's translation of the police announcement said:
The Facts:The first crime happened inside the football field. After being expelled from the game, player Josemir Santos Abreu, 31 year old, argued with the referee Otávio Jordão da Silva Cantanhede, 20 year old, and still kicked the reef. When he got up, Otávio took a knife (they give the knife the name "Peixaria", which refers to fishery, so I guess it was a Machete) from his waist and ended up stabbing Josemir's chest. The player did not resist the wounds and died on the way to the hospital. Josemir was a postal office worker in Pio XII.

The tragic end of the referee:According to what was determined, locals unhappy with the death os Josemir held him up and tied him up and Luis Moraes, holding a stick, made the first injuries to the head of Otávio. "Pirolo" e "Chiquinho" used rocks and a sickle to quarter the referees body. Octávio's head was decapitated and held on a stake over some barbed wire, the rest of the body was on the ground. After the brutal act, the trio fled the place. "Witness reports have reported some people who where in the area of the crime. We identified Luis Moraes has the master of the crime and he is already arrested. "Chiquinho" and "Pirolo" helped quarter the victim. We have clues of the whereabouts of both the of them and we are going to arrest them and make them take responsibility for the act. A crime will never justify another. Actions like this don't collaborate with the legality of state law", commented the police chief Valter Costa who still request that, whoever knows where "pirolo" or "Chiquinho" are, to call 36536551.

I found this at the "SomethingAwful" site, which i do not know anything about but suspect it is some site which posts regularly freaky stories? Anyway i guess the translation is not a bad one (?)

I can't see it being a machete. It's not something you could run around a football pitch with - about your person. And, besides, machetes are slashing not stabbing implements.

A fish-gutting knife would make sense. Nicely sharp and pointy.

The referee looked like he'd been attacked with a machete, though.

edit: it says a sickle. Hmm.

Tricky.
 
Probably the Sickle used looked more like this one though:

I guess Maranhao is mostly a rural area, full of farmers anyway. Still somewhat alarming that they had such weapons with them at the time, although i guess the football field was just that, some field with football design and surrounded by stone seats or just vacant ground (?)
