KILLER LESBIANS CHOPPED UP VICTIM
Severed digit used to access internet bank
A LESBIAN couple have been arrested on suspicion of killing a man and chopping off his fingers to access his bank account to steal a £60,000 inheritance.
Parts of hotel worker Diogo Goncalves’ dismembered body were discovered in different areas of the Algarve, Portugal.
Police arrested two women, aged 19 and 23, on suspicion of murdering the 21-year-old man and desecrating his body.
Security worker Maria Malveira, 19, allegedly promised Diogo a lap dance so she could tie him to a chair before strangling him, then dismembering and dumping his body over nearly a week with the help of nurse lover Mariana Fonseca.
Sword
His head was found in Tavira and his torso an hour-and-a-half’s drive away in Sagres at the western end of the Algarve.
His arms and feet – also thought to have been dumped in Tavira after being cut off with a sword and a meat cleaver – are yet to be found.
Police spokesman Antonio Madureira has stated the gruesome murder was thought to be financially motivated and involved the alleged use of the victim’s unique prints on his chopped-off fingers to access his bank details on his phone and transfer money from his bank account.
The victim is said to have received £60,000 after his mother was run over in July 2016.
Malveira reportedly had a secret affair with Diogo before moving in with Fonseca.
She is accused of dismembering him with her lover at their home near Lagos.
The suspected killers have been remanded in jail after appearing in a closed-court hearing.
