US Man Killed in Brazil by a Woman He Met Online
 

He was set up and they almost got away with it but the scant hoe got busted with his credit card.

There is a photo of her in my local news paper...she is a very attractive lady and I can see why he fell for her.

RIO DE JANEIRO - An international online love affair didn?t lead to the altar but instead ended in a brutal murder in Brazil.


Police said this week after a six-month investigation that an American man who came to Brazil to visit the fiancee he had romanced on the internet was killed by the woman over money, according to media reports.

Musician Raymond James Mierrel was drugged and held by Regina Filomena Rachid for a week in March in an apartment in Sao Jose dos Campos in Sao Paulo state, police said. After Mierrel gave her the PIN numbers to his credit cards, Rachid strangled him with a cable and, with the help of two accomplices, burned his body in a car on an abandoned piece of land in Sao Jose, police charged.

Authorities initially buried Mierrel?s body believing him to be an unidentifiable homeless person.

Mierrel?s parents, however, reported him missing in April from California, and the Brazilian police and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation began investigating his disappearance together.

It ended up being solved by chance when Rachid was arrested in June at a shopping centre in San Jose in an attempted robbery. A police search of Rachid turned up a credit card bearing Mierrel?s name.

One accomplice was then arrested, and another surrendered to authorities. Police said all three confessed to their involvement in the murder.

By then, Rachid had withdrawn about 50,000 dollars from Mierrel?s accounts, police said.

The musician had travelled to Brazil for a third time in March to spend his birthday with his fiancee.

Police said, however, that by the time of his arrival, Rachid and her accomplices had their eyes on his money and had been planning his murder for weeks. Now they face 30 years in prison if convicted of kidnapping and murder charges.

In the meantime, the body of the unknown homeless person was exhumed, and initial DNA tests determined that the body was almost certainly that of Mierrel.

No Pic of her online huh
Poor Guy

:( sad sad story :(

could have been worst ...

dying to the hands of a tranny .....

Couldn't find one and my scanner is messed up.

I read that he banked 200k from real estate investments and lavished her with expensive gifts. Guess she had her eye on the cash all along...what a shame.

That's cold

oh my... she's so cruel

This is a scary story. :(
I knew it is dangerouse to meet people in web.

Is it wrong for me to say that I love that kind of news.

George Carlin has said that he?s giving up on humans, He roots for death and destruction for the entertainment value. I think I?m with him. Truth is stranger than fiction as they say. This would make a good movie plot.

mmm...I cant do that overseas madness

fuck that bitch

If she was dating with him for some time and then killed him..... very bad. People can be very cunning.

sucks. people like that need to be tortured to death

wow..

what a whore.

can you imagine being "engaged" to someone in brazil? cause i can't.. i feel horrible about this man's death and for his family. what she did was definitely not warranted, but.. was he just extremely naive or what? :(

They don't fuck around in Brazil. Becareful with Brazilian and Columbian girls. Life is cheap there.

It's unfortunate that situations/people like this give internet dating a bad name.

Tragic ending online love affair.

no pics of her ?

I hope that she gets the 30 years

once again talking about something that you know jackshit about!

Damn that is brutal :(

What the fuck do you know about it? I know plenty of Brazilians and Columbians, and they'd be the first to agree with me. If you don't think Brazil and Columbia are dangerous places, you're probably as stupid as you sound. :2 cents:

What do I know?

I know that Brazilians are the warmest people in the world, if you've never had a Garota then I feel sorry for you.

You are the last person that should be calling anyone stupid, are you proud of your education! LOL

Tell me one thing, whats the point of arguing with someone that doesn't even know how to spell Colombia. LOL

Son, do you even know where it is on a map?

I'm not saying all Brazilians are bad people or not warm. Some of my best friends are Brazilian. What I am saying, is when you run in to one that isn't, the level of ruthlessness is just that much higher. Even still I plan to visit Brazil next year and fight in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Mundials.

I'm more proud of my life experiences and travel than of my education. Remember, since you want to be a smartie, questions end with a question mark not an exclamation point.

I constantly mess up spelling Colombia because I'm used to writing it as British Columbia, where I am from.

I'm not your son, and Colombia is one country below and east of where I live. If I took a long enough running jump, I might land there.

brazilian hoes are dangerous

Good. Serves the IDIOT right.

I just thought of something else I know about Brazil. Brazilian Barbeque is the best food in the World. MmmmMmm

Just fuking with you...

Brazil can be sketchy thats true, but some really great women come from there(probably the most jealous in the world). You need to hit Bahia for carnaval, hope you speak Portugese, you'll enjoy your trip 100% more if you know some basic phrases..

I don't think regular Brazilians can be classified as ruthless, go there and you will see that most will be happy to give you the shirt off their back!

Come to think of it I met my fair share of ruthless girls in BC. :winkwink:
Surrey and Abbotsford come to mind.

Costa Rica even has some hardcore girls, I'm sure they wouldnt try and rob you blind if they had half the chance..,

The most beautiful women in the World come from Brazil and Colombia, hands down. My Portugese is dreadful, but I'm learning slow. The major problem is I'm still learning Spanish, and I get over-whelmed by two new languages at one time. My BJJ instructor spreaks Portugese (He's Brazilian) and a little Spanish. I speak English and a little Spanish, but somehow we make it work.

The most dangerous girls, IMHO, are Colombian, but come on, who doesn't want Shakira? :2 cents:

No one has the pic?

BTW, its not the first time this happens in Brazil, at the least to Europeans

Some people will do the unimaginable just for money..
