Episode 72: Killer Meaty Empanadas
Episode description
In 2012, Brazilian cannibals Jorge Beltrao Negromonte da Silveira, his wife Isabel Pires(pie-res), and his mistress Bruna Cristina Oliveira da Silva were arrested, for the murders of two women and a teenage girl whom they dismembered and ate. Not only did they dine upon their victims but also stuffed the flesh of the females they killed into savory pastries selling them to neighbors and other locals. The sinister three were dubbed as the “cannibals of Garanhaus” (gar-an-house) being named after the region where the murders took place. Jorge was described as the “ringleader” of the threesome and even referred to as the “Sweeney Todd cannibal” by multiple media outlets. At his trial however, Jorge would claim to not have been involved in the actual killings, but instead that he and his wife had been tortured by his mistress into helping her rid of the evidence. So, was Jorge and his wife, Isabel, tortured into committing murder and devouring human flesh by his mistress Bruna, or was this a sinister threesome who were just plain deadly.
