Influencer is stabbed to death 'by cleaner who knifed her 20 times because she rejected his romantic advances'
A Brazilian book influencer was brutally stabbed to death in a food hall by a crazed cleaner who knifed her more than 20 times after she rejected him. Tais Bruna de Castro, 36, was eating her lunch in Beco Fino shopping centre in the neighbourhood of Jundiai, Sao Paolo, on Monday June 2, when a man approached her and launched his deadly attack on her. After stabbing Tais over 20 times, the knifeman, named as 40-year-old Claudio Elizeu, broke into an office and smashed windows and furniture, before police arrested him. Claudio, who worked as a cleaner in the shopping mall, told cops that he killed Tais because she was disinterest in a romantic relationship with him. They did not have a close friendship prior to the brutal killing, it is understood. Police continue to investigate influencer Marquez's murder under the country's femicide protocol, with her senseless killing being just another example of the high levels of gender-based violence in Latin America. Tais, who ran a reading blog called 'Reader Fashion', also worked as a travel agent in the shopping centre where she was tragically killed. The social media star's family said in a statement on her Instagram account, which boasts 8,311 followers: 'This week, our dear Tais Bruna, the owner of this profile, left us in a very sad and unbelievable way. 'Reader Fashion was one of her joys. Talking about literature, recommending new works and chatting with you made her day happier. 'We, her family, sincerely thank you for all the messages and prayers dedicated to her. 'Tais, we will love you forever.' Her callous killing is the latest in a spate of violence that has claimed the lives of Latin American influencers. Last month, a Colombian model and influencer was brutally shot dead by a hitman posing as a delivery driver. María José Estupiñán, 22, was shot at point-blank range as she stepped outside her home in Colombia's northeastern city of Cucuta on Thursday. Chilling CCTV footage captured from outside her home shows the moment that Estupiñán was struck, as gunshots can be heard ringing out in the background. The gunman can then be seen sprinting down the street, as the victim's mother screams in horror and desperately cries out: 'No, not my daughter!'. Also last month, a Mexican influencer was brutally murdered yesterday while live streaming to her followers after a motorbike-riding gunman opened fire on her salon. Footage showed the horrific moment 23-year-old TikToker and aesthetician Valeria Marquez was shot multiple times while broadcasting live from inside her beauty salon, Blossom the Beauty Lounge, in the western Mexican state of Jalisco. The video shows a smiling Valeria looking out of the window momentarily before bullets strike her once in the chest and twice in the head.
