"The details of the actions of the trio, with drawings and explanations of cannibalism, were found in a 50-page book written by Da Silveira, a man with a diploma in education and a black belt in karate," Honorato said. The book, entitled "The relationships of a schizophrenic," hints at acts of cannibalism. "The three ate the flesh of their victims to purify their souls," said the police spokesman.
Two bodies were found in the garden of the house occupied by the three defendants, which police believe were those of two women who disappeared recently: Alexandra Falcao, 20, and Gisele da Silva, 30. Both had been seen in the vicinity. The house of the three suspects was set on fire on Thursday by neighbours. One of the suspects confessed she knew the name of a woman the group killed in 2008, Jessica Pereira, in the nearby city of Olinda.

A five-year-old girl found with the trio is believed to be the daughter of the victim, police said. She was placed under the protection of a juvenile judge to find her a new family. The group attracted victims "by offering them well-paid babysitting jobs," Honorato said, and they chose victims when "a spirit warned them they were bad people." Welsey Ferandes, the police official in charge of the case, said the suspects planned to kill another woman in the neighbouring town of Lagoa de Ouro. Police did not rule out the possibility there had been other victims.

Religious nutters though they may be, but give them their due, if there's one thing there's too many of it's people and not enough food. Now the next step is to get the religious to eat each-other and decide that heathens are like pigs and shouldn't be nommed upon.
They weren't doing this for food, Ratz. They were doing it to "purify their bodies."
Give it five hundred years and it'll be a "mainstream" religion. Ok, maybe a thousand; some religious ideologies are nuttier than others. Hey, it's taken 1600 years, but even Islam is finally becoming "mainstream," and that's about as whackjob as it gets. Fellow Abrahimics Judaism and Christianity went the greed route centuries ago, so it was easier for them to earn the mellow tag and sideline the more wild-eyed among their respective flocks.
Eating people? Bah, it's merely a cultural difference, you see... Like female castration, for instance.
