A shocking and brutal crime rocked the small municipality of Américo de Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, in the early hours of Sunday, July 13. A 38-year-old man, identified as Nilton V.J., was found dead in the backyard of his home with multiple stab wounds to his neck, wrists, and legs — and his genitals severed. The gruesome nature of the killing has left the local community in fear.
According to police reports, there were clear signs of forced entry at the front door, indicating the victim was likely ambushed inside his own home. Authorities are treating the case as a crime of passion, driven by jealousy and domestic conflict.
On the same day, a woman known to be in contact with Nilton was hospitalized after being violently assaulted. She later told police she had been threatened with death by her partner, who became enraged after discovering messages between her and Nilton. According to her testimony, the suspect explicitly said he would kill both her and Nilton.
Investigations are ongoing, and police are actively searching for the suspect, believed to be the woman’s partner. The brutal nature of the attack, especially the mutilation, suggests a deeply personal and emotionally charged motive.
