AN anaesthetist has been arrested for allegedly raping a pregnant woman during a C-section and it is also believed he may have carried out attacks on two more mothers on the same day.
Giovanni Quintella Bezerra (32) was arrested on suspicion of rape after he was allegedly secretly filmed orally raping a woman after he heavily sedated her at a hospital in Brazil.
The woman’s husband was told to leave the room and only found out about what had happened to his wife when he recognised the doctor on television after his arrest.
“I have never seen anything like it,” said delegate Barbara Lomba, who is in charge of investigating the case.
The woman told her family she thought she was having a hallucination at the time of the sexual attack.
Hospital staff were reportedly worried about the amount of drugs Bezerra was giving to his patients.
The doctor would use so much anaesthetic that the mothers would be unable to hold their babies after delivering.
So, suspicious staff members fitted a secret camera to see what he was up to. They were horrified to see him sexually assaulting the woman.
He reportedly assaulted her sexually for almost 10 minutes.
Staff members who recorded the rape said the doctor had already carried out two similar procedures that day, with police investigating whether those two women were also victims of attack.
In the second operation on July 10, employees said Bezzera “wore an open cloak on himself, widening his silhouette and positioned himself in a way that also prevented anyone from seeing the patient from the neck up.”
In most C-sections the woman is not fully sedated during the procedure, but the women who went under the knife earlier in the day said they were fully unconscious during the procedure.
One of the patients said: “The only thing I remember from the surgery is his voice. He kept talking softly in my ear, it bothered me. He asked if I was okay.”
Two other people who said they were also Bezerra’s patients have arrived at the police station in Brazil since the accusations came to light.
The doctor was earlier transferred to the prison of Benfica.
He is facing charges of rape with a prison sentence ranging from eight to 15 years in Brazil.
Confessions of a human flesh eater
A convicted killer has spoken about how he ate human flesh for the first time after killing and dismembering a man.
Vladimir Nikolayevich Nikolayev (63) also known as ‘Vladimir the Cannibal’ was convicted of killing two men in Novocheboksarsk in 1997.
He was sentenced to death but had it commuted to life behind bars after Russia abolished the death penalty in 1999.
Nikolayev was filmed for a National Geographic documentary entitled “Inside Russia’s Toughest Prison”, in which he opened up about the first time he ate human flesh of a man he had killed.
“I was coming home from a party a little drunk. And next to the door of my building another guy, also drunk, asked me for a light,” Nikolayev recounted.
“We started arguing and got into a fight. He hit me, and I hit him, and it turned out he died.”
He assured the filmmakers that he had no intention of eating his victim when he murdered him, and the idea only occurred to him as he was dismembering his body and handling the flesh.
“What was I to do?” he continued. “I dragged him to the bathroom, undressed him and started cutting him apart.”
It was only after taking off the man’s head and limbs that he realised there was nothing stopping his curiosity to eat this man.
“All of a sudden something struck me and I thought I would try him. I cut off a piece of meat from his thigh and boiled it,” he said.
“I tried it, didn’t like it, so I chopped it up and fried it in a frying pan.”
In the interview, Nikolayev disclosed that he gave some of the human flesh to an acquaintance who took it home to his wife and child.
He said: “He took it home and gave it to his wife. She made dumplings with it, she had some herself and fed some to her children. They did not know what it was.”
“I said it was kangaroo,” Nikolayev said with a smirk. “We do not have kangaroos around here. They did not know what it was.”
Nikolayev was accused of selling around 5kg of human flesh at an open market, claiming it was kangaroo meat.
He was eventually caught after a woman noted the unusual taste and took it to a doctor for examination, where it was discovered to contain human blood.
After making the grim discovery, the doctor contacted the police and was arrested shortly after at his home.
Nikolayev will live out his remaining days in the notorious penal colony on a diet of mostly soup and bread.
At Black Dolphin, prisoners are kept bent over at the waist while a guard holds their handcuffed hands behind their back, higher than the hips.
This position keeps the prisoner most helpless, unable to observe his surroundings nor attack anyone else.
Bishop robbed at gunpoint in church
Bishop Lamour Whitehead was robbed at gunpoint in the middle of a sermon on July 24 and it was all caught on video.
The service was being live streamed when, suddenly, the bishop raised his hands in surrender and lay on the ground as members are heard screaming.
The church’s live stream shows the gun being held on the pastor.
The bishop later gave an update.
He said he was five to 10 minutes into preaching Sunday morning on Ramsen Avenue in Canarsie, Brooklyn, when he saw the door in the back of the room kick open and three to four men walked in with guns.
“I said, ‘Alright, alright, alright,’ pretty much stating that I am not going to do anything because I know you are coming for me. You are coming straight to me. I do not want my parishioners hurt. I have got women and children there.
“As I got down, one went to my wife and took all her jewellery and had the gun in front of my eight-month-old baby’s face. Took off my bishop’s ring, my wedding band and took off my bishop’s chain and then I had chains underneath my robe and he started tapping my neck to see if there was anything else. So that means they knew. They watched and they knew that I have other jewellery.
“They had guns on my deacons that were at the door,” said Whitehead, of Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministries.
He also added that what viewers did not see on camera were around 100 congregants who were in the room.
Men, women and children dropped to the floor in silence.
“My church is traumatised. The women and children are still crying. Babies are still crying,” said the bishop.
According to police, the men took off in a white Mercedes.
Whitehead said cops have a license plate and witnesses saw the men change clothes outside.
“These men, they need to turn themselves in,” Whitehead said. “I forgive you and I’m praying for you, and I hope that God deliver you from the mindset of who you are at this time.”
Whitehead believes his family was targeted because of the publicity he received when he helped turn in the suspect wanted in the fatal subway shooting of 48-year-old Daniel Enriquez in May.
“I turned him in, but the media called me ‘the bling, bling bishop.’ They had my Rolls-Royce car all over and I feel that they played a part in this,” said Whitehead.
“I think all pastors should be able to get permits for pistols.”
The police are investigating and Mayor Eric Adams has pledged support to find the suspects.
Meanwhile, Twitter users have taken to the platform to ask why the bishop had so much expensive jewellery while preaching and they are blaming his flamboyance for the attack. – Wires
