They wrote Dexter from him: about the life of a psychopathic maniac, Pedro Rodriguez Filho

On his account, hundreds of people were killed and his own father's heart was eaten. He struck terror into everyone around him and his name was Pedro Rodriguez Filho. Read more about the difficult life path of the Brazilian serial killer and his terrible crimes in our material. Spoiler: now he is a popular video blogger.

It all started with a sweeping blow that Pedro received while still in the womb. His father was an aggressive type and liked to drink a lot. One day he decided to vent his anger on his pregnant wife. When the woman gave birth, the baby had a serious skull injury-perhaps it was she who had a detrimental effect on Pedro's mental health in the future.

Then there were constant beatings and scandals from the drunken dad. Such a situation in the family did its job – already at the age of 13, Pedro had a desire to kill a person for the first time. The victim of the boy almost became his cousin. During the fight Rodriguez pushed the guy into the cane press. Fortunately, tom miraculously managed to survive.

The next attack of aggression happened to Pedro a year later. When he was 14, he shot the vice-mayor of the municipality of Santa Rita do Sapucai with a rifle. It happened right in front of the city hall. Thus, Rodriguez stood up for his though dysfunctional, but still father, who was dismissed by the deputy mayor from the position of a security guard because of suspicions of stealing school lunches.

In the same way, the boy did with his father's partner, because he believed that he was to blame for the theft, and " dad was dismissed unfairly."

After two murders Pedro Rodriguez Filho decided to lay low in Sao Paulo, but there his criminal career continued. To survive, the future maniac traded in robberies and robbery. Over time, here he met his love-a girl named Maria Aparecida. But the young people did not have time to fully enjoy each other's company, as Masha was killed. It turned out that the girl was a drug dealer and once owed a lot to drug lords.

Pedro decided to avenge his beloved, so he came to the wedding of one of the dealers and opened fire on those present. As a result, 7 people were killed, another 16 were seriously injured.

Father Pedro did not hide from the vendetta either. When the guy found out that he finally killed his mother, he came to him in prison and inflicted more than 20 stab wounds, and finally cut out and ate his father's heart.

In May 1973, Pedro Rodriguez Filho was arrested and sentenced to prison. But behind bars, his active criminal life began. The victims of the Brazilian at various times were 47 prisoners.

It is noteworthy that he chose especially dangerous criminals for murder – maniacs, rapists, pedophiles and so on. Later, Pedro explained his behavior by saying that "he did not believe in fair retribution from the state and decided to administer justice himself." Don't you think that he is the prototype of the famous TV serial killer Dexter, who worked as a forensic expert in the police, and in his spare time "cleared the planet" of criminals.

For all the crimes committed, Rodriguez was threatened with 128 years in prison, but according to the laws of Brazil, a convicted person cannot be behind bars for more than 30 years. As a result, in 2007, the psychopathic killer was released from prison. It should be noted that he is not the only dangerous criminal who walks freely at large.

So Rodriguez spent another 4 years until savvy lawyers found a loophole that allowed him to be sent to prison again. This time, Pedro was convicted of organizing a riot in a correctional institution in Sao Paulo.

Finally "leaned back" our hero is already in 2018. After many years of imprisonment, he seriously " hit " religion, began writing an autobiography and even started a YouTube channel. On it, the newly-appeared video blogger comments on the videos of other criminals and shares stories from his criminal past.

But the most surprising thing is not this, but the fact that more than 80 thousand people from different countries of the world are currently subscribed to the Rodriguez channel, and the popularity of the 65-year-old "blogger" is growing every day.
