The dismembered body of Orides Telles da Silveira, widely known by his criminal alias Bonitinho, was discovered along km 445 of BR-386 in Tabaí, near Canoas, Brazil. Bonitinho was considered one of the most notorious perpetrators of bank and armored vehicle heists in the country.
At the time of his abduction, he was serving a sentence under a semi-open prison regime and wearing an electronic ankle monitor. He was reportedly kidnapped in the Cadiz neighborhood of Gravataí by a heavily armed group.
A day after his disappearance, the criminals released a graphic video showing Bonitinho being beheaded with an axe, under the threat of AK-47 and 5.56 rifles. In the video, the assailants wore camouflage uniforms and ninja-style hoods, echoing tactics used by organized militias and drug cartels.
This shocking execution adds to the rising wave of brutal gang-related violence in Brazil, sparking renewed concerns about organized crime’s reach even within the prison system. Authorities are investigating the motive and suspects behind this gruesome killing.
