Serial killer caught - A Brazilian citizen has reportedly been caught by authorities after he had confessed to murdering at least 42 people. The man identified as Sailson Jose das Gracas was first detained by cops after stabbing one woman to death. During his confession, Sailson further admitted to having killed a few more people "for fun."

The serial killer caught in the borders of Rio de Janeiro, Wednesday, by authorities after he had stabbed a woman to death. Brazilian police have tied Sailson to 41 other murders after he had confessed to them. Such murders were done throughout the year and were allegedly done by Sailson "just for fun."

"I was glad when she struggled, screamed and scratched me," boasts Sailson about his murder, in a report by Brazilian paper, Odia.

The majority of the victims by the serial killer caught by Brazilian cops were mostly white women. 38 of the victims were female whereas three of the victims were male. The last victim from the 42 count was reported to be baby girl, aged two.

"I observed them, I studied them. I waited for a month, sometimes a week, depending on the place. I tried to ascertain where they lived, what their families were like... I kept watch on their houses and then after a while went there at dawn, waited for my chance and entered," adds Sailson.

However, not all murders were done exclusively alone by the serial killer caught. According to the Brazilian police statement, four out of the 42 murders committed by Sailson were done with two accomplices identified as Jose Messia and Cleoza Barbina. Both have already been arrested by authorities.

Aside from Sailson, who will now be sentenced to 30 years for the murders, another serial killer caught in Decatur. The man identified as Aeman Lovel Presley was arrested for fatally shooting a woman. He has been tied to four other murders.
