Note to self:
Never go partying near the Amazon River.
Because if the snakes and river monsters don't get you, the locals surely will.
Apparently, according to this linked source, a night of dinner and dancing not only ended in death this past weekend—but also with the victim becoming the main course.
The crime took place near Porto Velho, which is the capital of the Brazilian state of Rondônia, in the upper Amazon River basin.
Information from witnesses say the victim, Pedro Rodrigues de Oliveira, age 44, was with his wife at a local dance-hall party when the husband became jealous after his beautiful wife began dancing with a younger teenage boy.
An argument and brawl soon erupted with the boy being punched in the face.
Consequently, two of the boy's older brothers went home and armed themselves machetes, then, returning to the party, sought-out and killed the jealous hubby, Oliveira.

They then dragged the mangled body to a nearby thicket—where the act of cannibalism allegedly took place.
One witness later told Police that the men had their "mouths covered with blood" and were cutting-up pieces of the victims flesh saying that "they had eaten the victim's brain matter."
Further adding that it tasted great and that they wish they hadn't got apprehended by Police, as they "would have loved to have eaten more. "
