Final Destination horror as packed ferris wheel catches fire sending terrified families screaming
First responders rescued 54 people after they were stuck on a burning 29-foot tall Ferris wheel in Brazil on Wednesday. Footage taken by a visitor at an agricultural fair in the central-west city of Cuiabá showed the moment the base of the ride caught fire. Workers were seen rushing to the Ferris wheel's ramp, where they began to extinguish the flames before firefighters arrived. Each person was removed from the 14 cabins by the Mato Grosso Fire Department and Military Police. No injuries were reported. The fire department said the fire was caused by overheating in the LED lamps that cover the fabric on the ride's wiring fabric. Witnesses reported a strong burning odor moments before the base burst in flames. The Cuiabá Rural Union, which organized the fair, said in a statement that ride was shut down. It also said the amusement park company has been working on repairing the Ferris wheel. The ride will have to undergo an inspection by the Mato Grosso Fire Department before it can be allowed to operate again. 'The necessary measures to prevent and correct any possibility of events outside of normal use were taken and proved efficient in ensuring the well-being of users and visitors of the Exhibition Park,' the Cuiba Rural Union said. 'Following the incident, the amusement park company contacted its technical team to repair and reinforce the structure.' The incident comes less than a month after a five-year-old girl tumbled from a Ferris Wheel cabin and fell to the ground at a fair in the northeaster Brazilian city of Ipirá. Frightening video footage showed Heloísa Fernandes falling from her cabin before her distraught mother ran to her side. The Ferris wheel stopped during the middle of the ride and began shaking before Heloísa slipped from her seat, her mother, Laiane Fernandes, told Brazilian news outlet G1. 'Her legs were bent and only one eye was open,' Fernandes said. 'I ran, crouched down next to her and started screaming for her to answer me. 'She hugged me and told me to stay calm, that God was watching over her. It was a miracle that it wasn't more serious.' Heloísa suffered minor injuries, but no fractures. Her 10-year-old sister suffered a fractured foot.

Doctor rushed to hospital after her toyboy lover 'was fatally-stabbed at behest of her furious husband' - but she wasn't there to help him
A doctor under investigation for the murder of her lover was instructed by her husband to delete a video that captured the attack, Brazilian authorities have revealed. Ivan Bonotto, 35, was stabbed March 22 at a bar in Sorriso, Mato Grosso that is owned by the gynecologist's partner before he died after going into cardiac arrest on April 13. Bonotto was rushed to Sorriso Regional Hospital, where Dr. Sabrina de Mello arrived four minutes after he was admitted, according to the Mato Grosso Civil Police. Dr. de Mello, a mother-of-two, was dressed in scrubs and told security that she was there to visit Bonotto, whom she described as a friend. The physician was seen on video walking behind the hospital staff as they hurried him to the operating room and deleting text messages and the footage of the fight that Bonotto recorded on his cell phone. Dr. de Mello told investigators that she erased the messages and video because she was looking to 'protect the victim.' On Tuesday, authorities arrested Dr. de Mello, on charges of procedural fraud and obstruction of justice. Tacca was taken into custody for masterminding the attack while his friend, local businessman Danilo Guimarães, was arrested for killing Bonotto. Bonotto was a good friend of Tacca and often stayed at the family residence. A selfie taken by Dr. de Mello showed Bonotto drinking a beer and a smiling Tacca in the background. 'Thanks for the visit,' the doctor's caption read. Two other captions read: 'They go, I don't' and 'Excellent company.' Another photo taken by the gynecologist showed her, Bonotto and Tacca at a pool. Surveillance video footage showed Bonotto visiting the home March 9 and kissing the doctor in the garage. They spent some time inside the residence before they walked out and kissed again. After learning that one of his closest friends and his wife were romantically involved, Tacca lured Bonotto to his bar, where he and Guimarães faked the scene of a fight, which Bonotto is said to have captured on video. At one point, Guimarães attacked Bonotto and stabbed him multiple times. Tacca presented himself at a police station and told investigators that he did not know Bonotto and that the brawl was sparked by drinking at the bar. Guimarães indicated that he was involved in the fight, but that he stabbed Bonotto to protect himself. Mato Grosso Civil Police chief Bruno Brança said they discovered that Tacca and Guimarães remained at the bar and spoked for 'one minute and 42 seconds.' 'After the person [Guimarães] left, the bar owner waited another 11 minutes, with the victim in critical condition, to take him to the hospital,' he said. 'The claim that he had called the police and fire department is false. There was no connection in the records.' 'What we know is that the story about a bar fight is a lie,' Brança added. 'There was no fight, no self-defense, no racist abuse. What happened was an attack from behind, which we believe was planned.'

Married doctor's 'affair' with another man ends in mayhem and MURDER as shocking footage of her in scrubs emerges
A gynecologist, her husband and a businessman have been arrested in connection to the murder of the physician's lover, whom she was caught on camera kissing outside her home in Sorriso, Brazil. The Mato Grosso Civil Police carried out the arrests Tuesday, three months following the death of Ivan Bonotto, 35, who on March 22 was lured to a bar owned by the doctor's husband and stabbed. Bonotto suffered multiple stab wounds and remained under observation at Sorriso Regional Hospital, where he died after going into cardiac arrest on April 13. Dr. Sabrina de Mello, a mother-of-two, is being investigated for procedural fraud, the Mato Gross Civil Police said. Her husband, Gabriel Tacca, is said to have plotted the murder while his friend and businessman, Danilo Guimarães, reportedly killed Bonnatto. Authorities said that Bonotto was a very good friend of Tacca and carried a secretive relationship with Dr. de Mello. A security camera positioned at the family residence showed Bonnatto pulling into the garage on March 9. Dr. de Mello and Bonotto were filmed kissing in front of entrance and later enter the home. They later walked out together and kissed before Bonotto departed. After learning of the affair, Tacca reportedly contracted Guimarães to murder Bonotto, police said. As part of the plot to kill Bonnatto, Tacca and Guimarães staged a bar brawl and lured Bonotto, who was repeatedly stabbed in the back by Guimarães. Bonotto was rushed to private hospital, where surveillance video showed Dr. de Mello arrived wearing a set of blue scrubs to blend in with the facility staff as they were transporting the victim to the operating room. Dr. de Mello removed Bonotto's cell phone and deleted several messages and a video that showed Tacca and Guimarães pretending to fight. The police said that Dr. de Mello used her professional credentials to gain access to the medical facility and clear the suspects of suspicion. Dr. de Mello maintained possession of Bonotto's phone for three days before she handed it over to his family. She told the police that she deleted the messages because she only wanted 'to protect the victim.' 'The victim's cell phone was practically reset and we were able to prove that there was actually a fabricated story about a man being cheated on,' police chief Bruno Brança said Tuesday. 'We're looking at the dynamics of the crime. The bar fight never happened, and the victim was stabbed next to the bar owner, who claimed he didn't know anything, that he hadn't seen it.' Tacca and Guimarães voluntarily turned themselves after the incident. Tacca told cops that the fight was sparked by an argument over liquor that was being consumed at the bar, and told the agents that he did not know who Guimarães and Bonotto were. Guimarães was questioned and told the police that he stabbed Bonotto to protect himself from being harmed. 'After the crime, the bar owner and the person who stabbed him remained in the distributor talking for one minute and 42 seconds,' Brança said. 'After the person left, the bar owner waited another 11 minutes, with the victim in critical condition, to take her to the hospital. The claim that he had called the police and fire department is false. There was no connection in the records.' 'What we know is that the story about ç bar fight is a lie,' Brança added. 'There was no fight, no self-defense, no racist abuse. What happened was an attack from behind, which we believe was planned.'

Councilwoman turns out to be brazen shoplifter
A councilwoman was busted for shoplifting twice in less than 24 hours. Carla Dressler, a lawmaker in Brazil, was caught on camera stealing clothes from two stores in Pontes e Lacerda. According to Mato Gross Civil Police, she first snatched gym attire from a display table in a fitness store before pilfering a dress priced at $108 and a skirt valued at $44 from a separate retail outlet. At the fitness store, Dressler folded the outfit and placed it inside her purse. She then turned away and stepped over to a rack as her daughter approached her from behind and tried to get her attention. Store employees were concerned about Dressler's behavior and alerted the police at about 4pm. The items were valued at around $108. She was located at an address nearby wearing the green training outfit and was taken to a station where she confessed to the crime and then was released after paying bail. A second store owner then contacted the police to report that Dressler had also stolen from their location. The shocking footage showed a female sales associate assisting Dressler and showing her some of the clothing items. The councilwoman first grabbed a dress priced at $108 and a skirt valued at $44. In a span of a second, she was able to somehow stuff both items into her bag without the worker noticing.

Famous sportsman is brutally murdered...and the suspect has left his fans distraught
A retired volleyball player was allegedly kidnapped and murder by his girlfriend's former husband on Thursday night. Everton Pereira Fagundes da Conceição, whose was also known as 'Everton Boi,' was abducted at gunpoint and shot three times in Cuiabá, a city in the west-central state of Mato Grosso. The 46-year-old was driving his pickup truck when the suspect, Iderlei Pacheco, struck him in the head, investigators allege. Surveillance footage showed Everton Boi losing control of his vehicle and slamming head-on into another car next to a gas station at 11:16 pm local time. Pacheco was seen abandoning the pickup truck just seconds after the crash and fled in another vehicle. Paramedics arrived on the scene and confirmed Everton Boi's death. Everton Boi's girlfriend visited a local police station and told agents that he had been kidnapped several hours before he was murdered, the Mato Grosso Military Police said. The Mato Grosso Civil Police is leading the investigation. They haven't outlined a motive, or commented on whether Pachecho allegedly committed the crime because he was jealous of his ex's new lover. It is also unclear how long Everton Boi had been with his girlfriend for at the time of her death and how long ago she'd split from her former husband. Everton Boi was born in the Mato Grosso town of Várzea Grande and was the son of João Fagundes da Conceição, who played soccer in the 1980s. As a 16-year-old, he starred on the Brazil's under-19 national team and helped them win the 1995 FIVB World Championship in Puerto Rico. He was also part of the squad that won the South American Championship the following year in Paraguay. Everton Boi played for Brazilian clubs Fiat/Minas, Suzano, São Caetano, and Vôlei Futuro as well in international leagues in Argentina, Japan and Spain. "It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of former Brazilian national team player and U-19 World Cup champion Everton Fagundes Boi,' the Mato Gross Volleyball Federal said in a statement. 'Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.'
