SAO PAULO, Brazil - The body of a strangled toddler was found inside the baptismal basin of an evangelical church in southern Brazil, officials said Monday.

Eighteen-month-old Gabrielli Cristina Eichholz was found dead Saturday during services at the recently inaugurated Seventh-day Adventist Church in the city of Joinville, 250 miles southwest of Sao Paulo, said police inspector Rubens Passos de Freitas.

"Gabrielli was raped and then strangled to death. Her killer or killers also hit her over the head with a heavy blunt object," Freitas said.

No one has been arrested, and Freitas said police have no suspects. Parishioners of the small church were filtering in and out Monday, saying they were praying for the girl's soul.

What in the goddamned hell is wrong with people?

If a mob finds them and beats them to death I would be happy.

If the mob first rams a broomstick up his/their *ss and then strangles, and then beats and then drowns him/them to death...I would be happy.

There's no proper punishment for such a terribly horrific crime.

May whoever raped and killed that baby die a slow and horribly painful death...

People like that are the absolute lowest scum of the earth. They deserve a punishment worse than death.

That poor baby.

How incredibly sad.

I guess there must be something wrong with me, because whenever I hear about these horribly brutal things, I always think about how miserable the person who did it must be. . . how awful their experience of life must be. And how tragic that is. I can never quite bring myself to wish them a nasty death.

I certainly hope they are found and locked up, though.

I always wonder what drives a person to think that's a fun way to spend an afternoon.

I don't know what to say. I know a lot of people are probably going to hate that you posted this but I believe that we all should know that stuff like this goes on. It's horrible. I'm not a violent person but if I was in the presence of the people that committed this awful awful crime, I wouldn't be able to be held back.


M

Seriously, I CANNOT take this world WTF is wrong w/ people?? I mean, when do you lose all sense of humanity??? This is just beyond belief

This makes me feel sick

There's no place in this world for such a thing as a "devil", as long as we walk this earth.

Unfortunately this isnt an isolated case. I remember watching a documentrary about a similar case happening in Brazil. It just seems so out of character for what appears to an extent to me as such a warm and friendly nation.

a slight generalisation, we cannot define people by the image their nation is trying to potray.

i have spent some time in brazil and it is no different from any other country
there are dickheads and there are good peoples.

unfortunately the dickheads in this world are capable of such atrocities.

the world can be a very cruel place, it is our responsibilities to make it better

Im not making a generalisation and I happen to be n Brazil right now!

how can you rape a child that is under 2 years old and still sleep at night and be able to live with yourself. You have to be the most cold hearted, unsensitive, child of satan to do something like that.

This is very disturbing and Im sure the Commandment 'Thou shalt not kill' does not apply 2 the slow agonising death those bastards deserve, I hope the authorities catch them

The poor little baby

her poor family

I say its time 2 bring back some medieval punishments JUST 4 child rapists/killers/abusers ..Anyone got a mansize cauldron and some boiling water..?

JDINTERACTIVE said:

excuse me dude, but if calling brazil a warm and friendly nation is not generalising,
then i dont know what is....

and i agree it does a lot of work to sell a positive image, but you need to check out the Barrios dotted up along the hills
can u even step into these areas without fearing for your safety as a westerner

Brazil is a country of great extremes, the super rich living off the blood of the super poor.

Speachless

this is appalling. truly shows who has the power in this world today. i can't wait til Someone steps in and sets things straight for the whole world.

i hate seeing stories like this, b/c i always imagine how i'd feel if it were my daughter. i don't know if i'd be able to go on.

If we want things to change, we have to make them change.

CarrieMpls said:

agreed, it is naive to believe in a saviour, or in any politician,
even if they were being sincere, the powers that be would not listen

our first responsibility is how we spend our money and what banks we use,
people do not invest enough time researching the power of their money.

with responsible and ethical spending, the whole ballance of the distribution of wealth in this global economy would have to be readdressed

Interesting... this would make a good thread in P&R.

eraclito said:

Too true. This just happened a couple of weeks ago in the UK in fact. I'm sure there was a thread about it here but I was out of town so I probably missed it.

CarrieMpls said:

don't want to turn this into a P&R thread.... but no, not superman. this isn't the way God intended the world to be, but due to human sin this world doesn't belong to Him. it will again, soon hopefully. and then, yes, i believe that He will set things straight.

this isn't P&R, so i won't say anymore on this subject here. but if you or anyone else wants know more you can orgnote me.

This is absolutely sick!

My goodness an eighteen month old child!
