Brazil man 'confesses to 39 murders'

Brazilian police have arrested a man who they say has confessed to at least 39 murders over a three-year period.

Police said the 26-year-old security guard targeted homeless people, women and homosexuals.

They said Thiago Henrique Gomes da Rocha - who approached his alleged victims on a motorbike with his face hidden - was cold but driven by rage.

He was arrested in the central Brazilian city of Goiania by a special police team investigating the murders.

At 26, he would have had a very long life ahead taking the lives of others.

39 lives too late, but the Brazilian authorities did the country a favor by finding him at all before he destroyed more human beings and the lives of their loved ones.
