“I took the hand of the skeleton and scratched me and masturbated with the other hand of the skeleton.”
Marcelo Costa de Andrade (born in 1967) is Brazil’s most famous and most notorious serial killer. The son of poor migrants from the northeast, Andrade grew up in Rio De Janeiro. He was regularly beaten by his stepfather. When he was 10 he was sexually abused. At 14 he began to prostitute himself for a living. He was then sent to a reform school, but escaped. Still hustling by 16, Andrade began a lasting homosexual relationship with an older man. At 17 he tried to rape his 10-year-old brother. When he was 23 years old his relationship ended and he came back to live with his mother and his brother. He found a low-paying job and started going to church four times a week. His life seemed normal until April 1991, when he started to kill. Over a period of nine months Andrade brutally raped and strangled 14 boys aged 6 to 13. His victims of choice were poor street kids whom he attracted to deserted areas. He practiced necrophilia, decapitated one of them, crushed the head of another one, and, in two occasions, drank their blood. He later confessed that he did it to “become as beautiful as them”. His mind unbalanced by the sermons of a priest from the “Universal Church of the Kingdom of God”, Andrade declared that children would automatically go to heaven if they died before they’re thirteen and that he had done them a favour by sending them to heaven. In December of 1991, Andrade “fell in love” with 10-year-old Altair De Abreu and spared his life. It didn’t prevent him, however, from abusing and killing Altairs 6-year-old brother Ivan. Andrade then asked Altair to live with him and the boy agreed to spend the night with him in the bushes. The next day, the terrified youngster managed to escape and went to the police. Andrade confessed to 14 killings.
