Marcos Antunes Trigueiro
Marcos Antunes Trigueiro, known as the "Industrial Maniac" and the "Contagem Maniac "(born in Brasília de Minas, Minas Gerais on May 29, 1978) is a former Brazilian driver accused of being a serial killer of women who operated in the Contagem and Belo Horizonte cities. Trigueiro raped and murdered five women between April 17, 2009 and February 26, 2010, when he was detained by Minas Gerais Civil Police in the Lindeia neighbourhood, near the industrial district in Contagem. Police officers discovered that he tracked down the victims' cell phones, with Trigueiro himself confessing to the murders after  his arrest. Delegate Edson Moreira, one of those responsible for the case, announced on February 26 that at least three women were able to escape the maniac. On February 2, 2010, police had disclosed that there was a common behavioural pattern in all the murders, and that an expert found semen in the three 2009 victims which was from the same perpetrator. The case recalls another similar murder spree in Belo Horizonte between 1999 and 2001, when twelve women were found raped and killed in Greater Belo Horizonte, called the "UFMG Maniac" or the "Maniac da Pampulha", who was never  apprehended. Biography. Marcos Antunes Trigueiro was born in Brasília de Minas, Minas Gerais, but spent a part of his life in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, but always returned to Minas Gerais.
