16 Three Women Killed and Baked Into Empanadas

Ever been to South America and thought: “Yum, street food! I’m going to try the local fare”? If you were travelling the streets of Pernambuco, Brazil, you may have been eating people. Not Soylent Green, straight-up people

That’s Jorge Beltrao Negromonte, 50, and his wife Isabel Pires, 51, who are accused (along with his 25-year-old mistress) of luring AT LEAST three women to their house with the promise of nanny work only to slit the women’s throats, behead them, and quarter their bodies for, wait for it….

Cooking for human consumption.

These Brazilian gourmands are said to have baked their victims into empanadas (small meat pies) and sold them on the streets for about $.50 each. Street food in South America is typically less expensive than say, New York, but for half a dollar, perhaps their patrons should have been a little sketched out about what these Sweeney Todd wannabes were peddling.
