Luisa Raimunda da Conceição was a 30-year-old Brazilian woman who killed two of her three children in Moreno, Pernambuco, Brazil on April 19, 1967, before being subdued.
Da Conceição, had a sudden violent attack of craziness and attacked her children. Her husband, Severino Cirilo da Silva, had called police sergeant Quirino Melo, because da Conceição was threatening to kill her own children.
She first killed the family's youngest child, José Severino, one-month-old and four days old baby. Immediately, Quirino Melo and Severino Cirilo went to the scene, and there they witnessed the bodies of one-year-old Maria and José Severino, badly mutilated, and showing signs of strangulation. The right ear of Maria had been partially eaten by da Conceição.
Da Conceição then attempted on the life of four-year-old Severina, with her mouth glued to the neck of Severina, attempting to rip off her jugular vein. Seeing the authorities, da Conceição, with an furious fit of craziness and strange force, did not want to drop Severina.
After much fight, fearing that da Conceição concluded the strangulation, they subdued her.
Severino Cirilo told to the police that after the birth of the first child, da Conceição wanted to avoid another pregnancy, because that she was already begging and, if the family enlarged, they would starve of froze to death.
