A Brazilian book influencer was brutally stabbed to death in a food hall by a crazed cleaner who knifed her more than 20 times after she rejected him.
Tais Bruna de Castro, 36, was eating her lunch in Beco Fino shopping centre in the neighbourhood of Jundiai, Sao Paolo, on Monday June 2, when a man approached her and launched his deadly attack on her.
After stabbing Tais over 20 times, the knifeman, named as 40-year-old Claudio Elizeu, broke into an office and smashed windows and furniture, before police arrested him.
Claudio, who worked as a cleaner in the shopping mall, told cops that he killed Tais because she was disinterest in a romantic relationship with him.
They did not have a close friendship prior to the brutal killing, it is understood.
