Football referee `stoned, quartered then beheaded` for stabbing player
A referee was reportedly beheaded during an amateur football match in Brazil in retaliation for stabbing a player.
According
to the Mirror, the incident occurred when referee Octavio da Silva
Cantanhede Jordan, allegedly carrying a knife, stabbed player Josenir
dos Santos Abreu during a match last Sunday, after Abreu refused to
leave the field even after being sent off and instead started insulting
Jordan.
The report further said that after the stabbing, enraged
spectators reportedly ran onto the pitch, tied up Jordan and stoned him
to death, before quartering and finally decapitating him, adding that it
is also alleged that Jordan`s head was impaled on a stake and then
planted in the middle of the pitch.
The report also said that
although Abreu was taken to the hospital, he, however, died of his
injuries, adding that a man is said to be arrested with the police
searching for two more suspects.
Stating that reports of
witnesses have indicated some people who were in the place at the time
of the incident, police chief Valter Costa said that they would identify
and hold to account anyone involved in the incident.
Costa further said that a crime
never justifies another crime, adding that such actions do not
collaborate with the legality of the state law.
