Here’s a story of drug fueled violence with a taliban-esque twist in Brazil:

GOIANIA, Brazil (AP) – The Brazilian man accused of dismembering a British teenager and stuffing her torso in a suitcase told The Associated Press on Friday that he doesn’t remember most of what happened the night she died because he was high on cocaine.

“I don’t remember much,” Mohamed D’Ali Carvalho Santos said in an interview through the bars of his jail cell. “I had used too much drugs.”

Earlier Friday, however, Santos denied that he killed her in comments he made to reporters after returning from a trip with police to guide them to the remote area where he allegedly tossed Cara Marie Burke’s head and limbs from a bridge.

“It wasn’t me,” Santos said. “I deny it.”

Police say the 20-year-old already confessed to killing 17-year-old Burke on July 25 before cutting up her body because she threatened to tell Santos’ parents he was a drug dealer and addicted to cocaine.

Police inspector Jorge Moreira da Silva said Friday that authorities are searching for a man named Jorge accused of helping Santos dispose of the body parts, but said that the man is not suspected of taking part in Burke’s killing.

Burke’s torso was found Monday in the suitcase on the banks of a river in Goiania, about a two-hour drive from the Brazilian capital, Brasilia.

During the trip to the site where the body parts were dumped, Santos became angry with reporters after he was asked if he remembered where he tossed the remains.

“I threw her in your house,” he snarled.

Interested Participant notes that while the theory that Mohamad killed Burke because she threatened to tell his parents of his drug use is popular, there are reports that Mohamad was actually a Brazilian citizen who was angry Burke wouldn’t marry him so he could get U.K. citizenship.

Lionheart has long chronicled the violent subculture of Muslim drug gangs and this killing is as violent and misogynistic as anything he’s documented.
