A young man stabbed his mother to death as part of a ‘black magic’ ritual, it has been reported.
Sandra Maria dos Santos Carvalho, 58, was found with multiple knife wounds, and her hand chopped off, at her home in the city of Salvador, Brazil.
Her son, Jose Natan Carvalho, was arrested shortly after the gruesome discovery on Saturday.
Appearing in court, he admitted to ‘cutting his mother’s neck and her hand with a knife’.
