The cannibal, who was a
university professor, also ate human flesh, sauteed with onions and oregano, or
made the meat into a stew with vegetables.
Negromonte, 54, was
reported to have butchered one woman in front of her 18-month-old daughter,
then fed the toddler pieces of her dead mother for lunch the next day.
When confronted with his
crime, he said he saw no difference eating human flesh and tucking into some
beef. So he stuffed plenty of the former into the pasties known as empadas. He
sold them on the streets close to his home in Garanhuns, northern Brazil.
Matt Roper, who was in
conversation with the flesh-eater, said that regardless his shaved head and
cold stare and distracting lip-licking habit, the cannibal is far from the
bloodthirsty monster everyone expects.
The murderer said: “For
people to be safe, i need to be in here. If i were let out as i am today, i
could kill another one. Human meat, for me, is no different to beef.”
Investigations reveal that
Negromonte, his wife Isabel Cristina Pires, 54, and mistress Bruna Cristina da
Silva, 24,(lady in red) formed a religious sect together. They ate women believing it would
cleanse the victims of their sins.
The gang believed that the
girls would give birth to ‘thieves and lowlives’, and together they practised
what they called ‘population control’, luring young women to their homes and
murdering them.
Negromonte said: “The women
would prepare the meat. I can’t remember if we ever fried it like steak. I did
buy a mincing machine for Bruna (the mistress), but I’m not sure if she used
it.” “The meat would last
for three or four days. We would have it for lunch and dinner until it was all
gone.”
Negromonte is one of 997
criminals crammed into Desembargador Augusto Duque prison, which was built to
house just 144 inmates in the mud-brick town of Pesqueira.
The convict normally shares
his five bed cell with 33 other prisoners.
He was sentenced to 23
years in prison in November 2013 for murdering three young women aged 17, 20
and 21.
The crimes shocked the
world when they were finally uncovered in March 2012, but Negromonte insists
some details about the murders and his motives remain untold.
He even hints there may
have been more victims the police know nothing about.
The psychopath, whose story
changes like the wind, swore contrary to his statements in court, he claimed he
never intended to kill anyone.
He says he is a victim too,
a schizophrenic, controlled by his young lover Bruna, a witch who was inspired
to cook and kill women by a book of satanic rituals.
However, just minutes
later, he reveals what may have the true motive behind his horrific crime – his
hatred of “uneducated” mothers, a desire born of frustration because he could
not father a child himself despite trying with Isabel for eight years.
Negromonte says: “Isabel
lost one, then another one. So we went to the doctor and she started treatment,
but I don’t know what they did because after that she didn’t even get pregnant
again.
“And then you look around
and there are uneducated people everywhere who are producing them one after the
other.
“They don’t have anything
of worth to pass on to them. They are just producing thieves and low-lifes.”
“The pain the families of
those women are suffering is the same pain I am suffering,” he says with a
breathtaking lack of remorse, adding: “I’m also feeling the pain of not having
a family. I see myself as a victim, too.”
Negromonte still insists he
never meant to murder anyone, despite refusing to accept his victims were
innocent. Even more disturbing he has started another sect in prison with a
Christian pastor serving time for rape.
He says: “We meet in the
prison chapel, play guitar and sing worship songs. I speak to the inmate like
Moses did to his people. I teach them about what’s right and wrong.”
