Josefa Lima de Sousa, 65, from Brazil, confessed to killing a fellow homeless person named Celso Marques Ferreira – she sliced of his penis and reportedly made the organ into a soup
A woman who confessed to killing a man and chopping his penis off reportedly made the organ into a soup.
Josefa Lima de Sousa, 65, from Brazil, was arrested after a homeless man was stabbed to death in Peruíbe on the coast of São Paulo. A knife was located at the scene. The victim has since been identified as Celso Marques Ferreira.
According to local media, police are investigating whether Sousa handed out the soup to other homeless people in the area. She is thought to have cooked his penis and part of his heart after killing him. On Monday, it was revealed. Sousa offered multiple people the dish on the streets. Homeless people told the Civil Police that they ate the food on the same day of the crime.
Ferreira was found lifeless with stab injuries to the ribs, neck and private parts. Next to his body there was a sign accusing him of sex crimes. Sousa, who is also homeless, told officers that she killed him with “the power of her mind” before she ate some of his organs. She also told cops that Celso sexually assaulted children.
According to publication G1, the homeless people who reported their concerns to the police were unaware of the contents of the soup at the time. The police are yet to confirm whether the organs were used as ingredients in the soup. Officers arrested Sousa alongside her partner, Robson Aparecido de Oliveira, 41, on March 7.
Authorities confirmed there was enough evidence to show that Sousa carried out the crime. It was also found that she didn’t get on with the victim prior to his death. Police arrested Aparecido de Oliveira after they discovered he had recently threatened Celso. Officers believe Sousa wouldn’t have been able to carry out the crime by herself.
Detectives are said to be searching for another man who might have participated. They have not commented on the claims Celso had sexually assaulted children. The victim and the two detainees are said to have frequently slept in the square where Celso’s body was found.
In December 2023 a jealous Brazilian wife confessed to slicing off her husband’s penis and flushing it down the toilet. Daiane dos Santos, then 34, walked into a police station and claimed she had acted out of revenge after discovering Gilberto Nogueira de Oliveira had slept with her 15-year-old niece.
The professional cook switched the lights off at their home in Atibaia near Sao Paulo after offering her hubby kinky sex and tying his hands up with a pair of her knickers before assaulting Gilberto. She told police she then flushed his organ down the loo because she wanted to make sure it couldn’t be sewn back on.
