"The decapitated body of a Brazilian blogger known for denouncing corrupt politicians has been found in a rural zone in south-eastern Minas Gerais state..."

... in Brazil.
Evany José Metzker, 67, was reported missing five days before his body was found... “His hands were tied behind his back and his body showed signs of torture,” a police press officer said, adding that the murder was apparently motivated by Metzker’s recent investigations into child prostitution and drug trafficking.

@CG, Minas Gerais is (I think) south of the rain forest.

P.S.: 735 E. Center? I'm going over in a couple weeks.

This happens to reporters all the time in the Philippines, so doesn't tend to get in the US press.
