According to a report, a Brazilian woman allegedly killed her 5-year-old daughter during a horrific psychotic episode in which she removed the girl’s eyes before cutting her tongue and eating her.
Josimare Gomes da Silva, 30, was arrested Sunday at his home in the city of Sao Cristovao after the girl’s grandfather burst into the bathroom and discovered the horrific scene, Newsflash reported.
He had noticed that blood was coming out of an outside drain after Da Silva locked himself inside the bathroom with his daughter, Brenda Carollyne Pereira da Silva, according to the report.
Grandfather found the mother praying stunned while the lifeless girl stood by her side.
According to Newsflash, investigators said the shattered mother attacked Brenda with scissors while she was still alive.
Da Silva gave the police a wrong statement the next morning in several languages, including Spanish.
He reportedly refused to take his daughter’s eyes out and stick his chopped tongue in her mouth.
The woman, who is known to have mental health issues, including depression, is believed to have carried out the attack during a psychotic episode.
She was detained at a Delmiro Gouveia police station and will be transferred to a women’s prison in the state capital of Maceio during the investigation.
