A man together with his wife and his mistress are accused of luring the victims to his house by pretending he had a nanny jobs, a court heard.

They then jumped the women, battered them to death before devouring them.

Leftovers were then allegedly made into pasties.

They then sold the savouries on to unsuspecting customers including school kids claiming they contained chicken.

Jorge Beltrao Negromonte da Silveira, 52, his wife Isabel Cristina Pires, 53, and mistress Bruna Cristina Oliveira da Silva, 28, are on trial in Garanhuns, Brazil.

Police say they initially confessed to their crimes and claimed to be part of a sect that wanted to reduce the world’s population.

At the opening of the trial, Silveira called the murders “a horrible, monstrous mistake”.

The trio are charged with two murders, but police fear there may be more.

Detectives also found a 50-page book, Revelations Of A Schizophrenic, written by Silveira.

In it, he said he was obsessed with killing women.

The trial continues.
