Sailson Jose das Gracas is a 26-year-old Brazilian man accused of stabbing a woman to death in a suburb of Rio de Janeiro. He has confessed to having murdered 41 people, almost all of them women, “for the fun of it”, police say. Gracas says he has murdered 37 women, three men and a two-year-old child over a nine-year killing spree, explaining he killed the child because he feared it would cry and attract neighbours’ attention.[1] He claimed to have first murdered in 2005 at the age of 17.[2][3] Police Chief Henrique Medina stated that das Gracas “wanted to kill women — white women, not black ones. He followed the victims, studying them closely before committing the crimes,” [4]
