Tiago Gomes da Rocha, a Brazilian man who
confessed to killing 39 people has given reasons
for his actions implying that he should also be
seen as a victim.
The 26-year-old was arrested after police linked a
gun in his home to the murders of six women this
year.
He said he got the urge to kill people was
triggered at age 11 when he was sexually abused
by a neighbour.
“I had an ordinary childhood until I was 11. Then I
was sexually abused by a neighbour,” he said.
“After that I felt like I was nothing.
“In a way I’m a victim here, too,” he said.
His rage grew with him through his adolescence.
When he reached adulthood, it peaked, he said.
Rochas said he started carrying out the murders
at age 22 when he killed an homeless man.
According to him, he directed much of his rage at
woman because he has been rejected many times
before by the opposite sex.
“When I was 22, I couldn’t stop myself anymore.
It was like I had to do it,” he said.
“I was rejected a lot in the past, so I directed part
of my anger towards women,” he told the Sun
newspaper
