In a horrifying scene that has shaken the rural community of Itabuna, Bahia, Brazil, the body of a man was discovered late Friday afternoon (May 9), showing signs of extreme violence and gruesome torture. The victim, believed to be around 35 years old, was found by local residents near a remote farm area.
The man’s hands and feet were tightly bound. His body was riddled with multiple stab wounds and gunshot injuries, and forensic experts noted an attempted decapitation, with deep gashes to his neck and skull. Several 9mm shell casings were recovered at the crime scene, pointing to the use of a semi-automatic pistol in the execution.
The victim, described as medium-dark skinned and covered in tattoos, has yet to be formally identified. Access to the remote location was hindered by muddy and slippery roads due to recent rainfall, complicating the work of emergency and forensic teams.
The brutality of the murder suggests a targeted and personal attack, and local authorities are now investigating possible motives and suspects. The community remains on edge as this chilling act of violence adds to growing concerns about rural crime in the region.
