Chilling moment 'killer' husband is filmed bundling his ex-wife's body into car boot 'before dumping her in piranha-infested river'
A man has been caught stuffing his ex-wife's body into the boot of a car before dumping her in a piranha-infested river. Carlos Eduardo de Souza Ribeiro last week confessed to murdering his ex-wife Amanda Caroline de Almeida, 31, and dumping her body into a river in Brazil 's São Paulo state. Horrifying footage, taken last Tuesday, shows Ribeiro, 35, and his brother carrying the victim's body in a sheet. The sick pair can be seen trying to stuff her body into the car's boot, before driving off to toss her into the Tietê River. Ribeiro admitted to strangling Almeida on May 19 after she refused to get back with him following their separation two months prior, police said. Friends told local media that just six weeks earlier, Ribeiro had brutally beaten Almeida for leaving him. The battered woman is said to have not to reported him to protect their three children from further distress. The man was arrested on May 21, while his 38-year-old brother, who has not been named, was detained a day later. Police said: 'Two men have been arrested in for femicide and concealment of a corpse. 'The search continues to locate the victim's body.' Sadly, Almeida's body hasn't yet been recovered from the Tietê River, located in Brazil's state of São Paulo, which is notorious for its poor water quality and is known to be infested with piranhas. Several months ago, 15 swimmers were forced to flee the river covered in blood when they were attacked by a school of piranha fish. On the night she was murdered, Almeida was returning home from an evening out when she noticed her ex-husband's car parked near her house. She asked to be dropped off at a distance, hoping he would leave by the time she arrived. Tragically, she was never seen again. Her three children, aged 17, 7 and 5, are now in the care of family members. Domestic violence against women has long been a widespread issue in Brazil. National data since 2021 indicates a troubling rise in cases of violence targeting women. In response, the Brazilian government took a significant step in 2024 by designating domestic violence as an exception to repatriation under the Hague Convention. This move was widely recognised as a landmark decision aimed at safeguarding victims of domestic abuse, including women and children.
