A woman who cut off her boyfriend's manhood after he raped her 12-year-old daughter has told police how she butchered him, stabbed him to death and then burned his corpse.
Horrified neighbours in Belo Horizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, called police when they saw accused Erica Pereira da Silveira dragging the body towards scrubland on 11th April.
When officers arrived they found the still burning copse of victim Everton Amaro da Silva, 47, and followed a gruesome trail of blood back to his killer's apartment.

Police say 43-year-old Pereira da Silveira confessed immediately and showed police the knife she had used to mutilate him after she had doped him.
She said she saw red when she came home and found Amaro da Silva in bed with her underage daughter.
Chief police investigator Franz Cesarino told local media: "He had been in the house, in the room with the suspect's daughter in a situation that appeared to be rape.

"It's hard to tell exactly what happened because they were all either high on drugs or alcohol.
"The victim's body has been sent to the institute of forensic medicine for examination."
After arresting Pereira da Silveira police seized a knife, wooden club, an iron bar and her mobile phone.

Prosecutors have charged her with qualified homicide, because her victim was killed while he was drugged and helpless.
Police are also hunting a 17-year-old boy who who is believed to have helped Pereira da Silveira dispose of her boyfriend's body.
