Sao Paulo police have arrested the man they believe is "The Rainbow Maniac", a serial killer haunting the parks of Brazil's largest city and murdering gay men.
The AP reports:
"Retired state police Sgt. Jairo Francisco Franco was taken into custody Wednesday night after a witness identified him as the killer of a homosexual man on Aug. 19, said police inspector Paulo Fortunato.
Franco is suspected of acting alone in all of 13 killings between February 2007 and August 2008 at Paturis Park, a favorite meeting point for gay men, Fortunato said.
The suspect, who worked as a private security guard in a supermarket, has denied the charges, Fortunato said. He added that Franco did not yet have a lawyer.
"We have a credible witness who says he saw Franco pump 12 bullets into a black gay man inside the park," Fortunato said in a telephone interview.
A second witness said Franco visited the park frequently, "apparently cruising for gay men and victims," Fortunato said."

São Paulo is the largest city in Brazil but it is not the capital. Their capital is Brasilia.
Check your sources!
@Danny the Tranny: Oh right. I knew that too. Thanks for the correction.
@Danny the Tranny:
Umm…Danny, I went back and read Japhy's commentary three times over. Nowhere did I see him make mention that Sao Paulo was the capital city, however.
Am I missing something?
He fixed it when he thanked him for the correction. :)
@BombasticMo:
Cool. Thanks for letting me know that, Bombastic. Didn't realize he could fix type already published. I learn something new every day. HeeHee :-)
Have a Happy Holliday
It's worth noting that over 50% of serial killers are former law enforcement.
BTW – Japhy is a lousy Editor!
