Brazilian Cartoonist And Son Murdered By Religious MadmanBrazilian national newspaper cartoonist, Glauco Villas Boas (54), and his son (25) Raoni Boas were murdered last week.

Initially thought to be a robbery-gone-wrong, it turning into an even more unsettling case on investigation. Glauco was a member the Santo Daime sect. It transpires that the murderer was student Carlos Eduardo Sundfeld Nunes (24), a recent expelled member.

Nunes broke into Glauco's home in Osasco with a pistol, threatening to kill himself unless he told Nune's mother that Nunes was Jesus Christ. When Glauco tried to appease Nunes, he was shot four times. When Raoni arrived and tried to save his father, he too was repeatedly shot.

Nunes fled the scene but was identified. Days later, he tried to force his way through a Brazilian customs checkpoint into Paraguay still carrying the same gun and shot a policeman. He was arrested and subsequently confessed to everything. Glauco and Raoni were buried in the Gethsemani cemetery, near São Paulo.

Glauco's work was adapted into animation for Brazilian's version of Adult Swim.
