Girl, 5, has horror realisation about 'family' after they 'cook her mum into homemade snacks'

A five year old girl in Brazil became an unwitting key witness in a harrowing murder case after her seemingly normal life was exposed as a facade.

As little Maria* enjoyed a home-made empanada in her family's garden in Garahuns, northeastern Brazil, her tranquillity was shattered by a police raid.The discovery made by the officers was particularly disturbing for locals who were fans of the family's popular empanadas, a local delicacy similar to a Cornish Pasty.

Jorge Beltrão Negromonte da Silveira, whom the young girl, Maria, believed to be her father, claimed he was on a divine mission from an angel to "purify" the Earth and control overpopulation.However, his methods were nothing short of sickening.Podcaster Mr Ballen recounted how Maria's family, busy with their thriving pie business, would often hire young women to care for her.

A month prior to the raid, a new nanny had arrived but seemed to have left abruptly. Mr Ballen noted: "In the past there had been other women who had come by to be her nanny and they didn't seem to last very long.", reports the Mirror.
