| Police: Man kills bride, best man, self at wedding |
| 2010-12-22 |
| And the party was just ruined! A bridegroom fatally shot his new wife, his best man and then himself after announcing to horrified guests that he had a "surprise" for them, authorities said Monday. Witnesses reported that 29-year-old Rogerio Damascena, a sales manager in Camaragibe, outside the northeastern Brazilian city of Recife, did not give any previous indication that anything was wrong at his wedding reception, police investigator Joao Brito said. Brito would not speculate on a possible motive, "Waddaya think, Sarge?" "I think he's nuts, Muldoon." saying family members were in shock and he had not interviewed them yet. Ummm, Sarge? Muldoon? Anyone think the bride might have been foolin' around with the best man? And the groom found out, but didn't take it well? Uh, well, yeah, cheez, Captain, that could happen but what are the odds? Brito did say the killings are believed to be premeditated because of the groom's announcement and because he had hidden a gun in his father's pickup truck. Nothing gets past this police investigator, nothing I tells ya Twenty-five-year-old bride Renata Alexandre Costa Coelho and best man Marcelo Guimaraes were both killed in Saturday's murder-suicide. A brother of the bride was treated at a hospital and released. The website Globo.com quoted a sister of the bride who left before the shootings as saying she didn't believe it was a crime of passion. "My sister was a wonderful person who loved and wanted to be loved," Lucia Helena Coelho was quoted as saying. My sister was NOT a slut... and she was betrothed to a vengeful bastard! "He was happy, she was happy, the party was beautiful. His family adored her and doesn't understand this," Coelho told Globo.com. "He revealed himself as a sociopath who fooled the entire family and killed his best friend, who was ... the best man." |

| #3 I remember one very sad but honorable young man, who just a day before his wedding, chanced upon his fiancee, to find her servicing not one, but two former boyfriends. For her to blurt out, "I want an open marriage!" right then was as good a defense as any other. Still didn't work. |
