Pedro Rodrigues Filho is one serious serial killer. He’s responsible for at least 70 murders, 10 of which he committed before he reached the age of 18.
When it comes to Pedro Rodrigues Filho though, being a good guy can actually pay off. Rodrigues targeted victims who, for the most part, weren’t just average everyday people. Rodrigues went after other criminals and those who had wronged him.
He also fell in love. Her name was Maria Aparecida Olympia and the two lived together until she was killed by gang members. He tracked down several people related to her murder, torturing and killing them in his mission to find the gang member who took Olympia’s life.
He was finally arrested on May 24, 1973. He was placed in a police car with two other criminals, including a rapist. When the police opened the car door, they discovered that Rodrigues had killed the rapist.
Pedro Rodrigues Filho killed at least 47 of his fellow inmates, which made up a majority of his murders. Though Rodrigues was initially sentenced to 128 years in prison, the crimes he committed while he was in jail upped his sentence to 400 years. But by Brazilian law, the maximum prison sentence is 30 years. He was released in 2007.
