Lovestruck hit man fakes victim's death with Ketchup

A hired killer faked the death of his intended victim after falling in love with his target.

Hitman Carlos Roberto de Jesus, from Brazil, was paid £345 to murder Iranildes Aguiar Araujo.

He was contracted by housewife Maria Nilza Simoes, who was convinced Iranildes was having an affair with her husband.

But when he showed up to carry out the hit, he couldn't bring himself to do it - and confessed the plot.

He then used some tomato

ketchup to try and get them both off the hook.

The pair then conjured up a plan to fool his employer into believing he had carried out the hit.

The new lovers bought two bottles of ketchup from a local supermarket.

De Jesus then got his supposed victim to rip her shirt and grip a machete under her armpit.

He then taped her mouth up, tied her hands, smothered her with ketchup and got her to lie still on the floor as if she were dead.

The ex-convict photographed Araujo and sent the picture to the 'cheated' wife saying he had killed her.

But the ruse was discovered three days later when Simoes saw the hired assassin kissing the very woman he was meant to have bumped off.

She then went to the police to complain he had stolen 1000 dollars from her.

You just can't trust a hired killer. They are such liars. If I'm going to hand over $1,000 to a hitman, I'm going to expect to see the body. You can fool someone only so many times.
