Brazilian 'Josef Fritzl' decapitated

London, Feb 10 (ANI): A man who fathered seven kids with his daughter after raping her over nearly 20 years has been decapitated.

Jose Agostinho Pereira, dubbed as the Brazilian 'Josef Fritzl', was found guilty of repeatedly assaulting the girl, now 28, and sentenced to 63 years in jail for imprisoning her in a remote hut.

The 55-year-old sex beast was murdered during a riot in a police station, where he was waiting to be transferred to jail, reports the Sun.

Five other suspected paedophiles also died in the chaos, in which Pereira had his head chopped off.

The prisoners who killed him in Pinheiro, Maranhao, north-east Brazil, were protesting over overcrowding, lack of drugs and a desire to eat food cooked by their own families. (ANI)
