[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A shocking and horrific crime has caused an uproar in Brazil, where a woman killed her 5-year-old biological daughter and even mutilated the body.

According to foreign media including The Guardian on the 28th (local time), Josemare Gomez (30), who lives in S?o Crist?v?o, Alagoas in northeastern Brazil, was arrested by police on charges of killing her biological daughter Brenda da Silva (5) and mutilating parts of her body.

According to local police, on the 24th, Brenda's grandfather became worried when his granddaughter locked herself in the bathroom with Gomez and did not open the door for 30 minutes.

The grandfather then discovered blood and water pouring out from the drainage behind his house, which intensified his concern.

Eventually, he broke down the bathroom door and witnessed a horrific scene.

His granddaughter Brenda was lying covered in blood with parts of her body missing, and his daughter Gomez was holding scissors.

Startled, he screamed and ran out, and a shocked neighbor who heard the commotion called the police on his behalf.

The police who arrived at the scene saw Gomez holding a rosary and muttering while chewing on something next to her daughter's corpse.

Gomez, known to suffer from mental illnesses such as depression, initially denied the charges with confusing claims like "I killed the demon living inside my daughter" and "My daughter is alive," but eventually admitted to the murder and mutilation charges.

Gomez was reportedly transferred to a psychiatric hospital at the prosecutor's request, where she received psychological treatment and psychiatric evaluation.

The police stated, "It appears she lost her sanity during a seizure and committed this brutal crime," adding, "Even the police officers were shocked by this case."
