The governor of Goiás had posted on his Twitter profile information about the arrest of the criminal, sought by security forces for more than 20 days. Lazaro Barbosa fled after murdering four people from the same family, kidnapping three others for an alleged macabre ritual, and shooting at police officers on the run. Lázaro was hunted by police in the state of Goiás and the Federal District.

Who was Lazaro Barbosa, also known as Brasilia’s serial killer?

Lazaro was described as a highly dangerous person, a true ‘psychopath’; and he had a huge criminal record, according to the justice and the police. The agents also claimed that the serial killer was an accomplished hunter; and this facilitated his movement through the farms and thickets of the region.

Before Lázaro was killed in a clash with the police, the head of Public Security of Goiás, Rodney Miranda, said that Lázaro was “an experienced bushman and could easily camouflage himself in the Brazilian savannah”. The head of public security also informed, at the time, that he made available sniffer dogs and helicopters from Organs state security agencies of the Federal District and Goiás.

Lazaro was accused of killing a couple and two children: Cláudio Vidal de Oliveira, 48; Gustavo Vidal, 21 years old; and Carlos Eduardo Vidal, 15, were murdered on the spot. After the murders, Lazaro hid the body under leaves so that they would not be seen by police air searches.
