Male model convicted in grisly murder of Portuguese TV journalist
CNN ^ | December 2, 2012

(CNN) -- He was a 20-year-old male model. His lover was a 65-year-old man who was a television journalist. They were from Portugal, visiting New York City. The older partner broke off the relationship and ended up mutilated and dead.

Now, almost two years later, a New York jury has convicted model Renato Seabra of the grisly second-degree murder of Carlos Antonio De Castro in their InterContinental Hotel room in Times Square.

"This was a brutal and sadistic crime, where Renato Seabra bludgeoned, choked, and mutilated his victim before murdering him," Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said following Friday's verdict.

"But the jury's verdict now, finally, holds Seabra accountable. It is particularly tragic that Carlos Castro was not only ... betrayed by his spurned lover, but met a very painful and violent end far from his home," Vance said.

Castro was found bludgeoned and castrated in the hotel room in January 2011, a law enforcement source told CNN at the time.

Eeeesh, how do you even “cut” something with a corkscrew? Screw it into the testicle and yank, I guess (and that would probably be one of the least painful ways to do it). WHAT are they teaching the kids over there in Portugal nowadays, anyway?

This reminds me, does anyone have a good recipe for Portugese blood sausage?

All things considered, what with the subject matter, this just doesn’t ‘sound’ right... couple of innuendos could be passed around.....?

“He was a 20-year-old male model. His lover was a 65-year-old man who was a television journalist.”

True love. Did they originally meet at some romantic public toilet?
