SAO PAOLO, Brazil (March 23)
:sick:A Brazilian housewife was convicted and sentenced to 19 years in prison Friday for killing her husband, chopping his body into small pieces, and frying it. Rosanita Nery dos Santos, 52, drugged her husband in is sleep, then stabbed him to death two years ago in Salvador, about 900 miles northeast of Sao Paolo, said police spokesman Idmar Bonfim.
She then hacked Jose Raimundo Soares dos Dantos' body into more than 100 pieces, which she boiled and fried before hiding in plastic bags beneath a staircase in her house, Bonfim said. He said police discovered the body parts after recieving an anonymouns phone call.
Bonfim said the killing was either part of a black magic ritual or an attempt by the wife to collect life insurance worth about $34,000.
Santos denied killing her husband but said she chopped up his body, Bonfim said.
"She claims masked assailants entered her house, killed her husbad, and then forced her to cut up the body and fry it because that would prevent the stench of a decomposing body from alerting neighbors," he said.
