A 9-year-old Brazilian boy was stabbed to death by his lesbian mothers. According to Metropoles, his body parts were left behind at two separate locations.

Summit News reports that only one year ago, the lesbian couple tried to perform at-home transgender surgery on the 9-year-old boy.

Rhuan Maycon was murdered by his mother, Rosana da Silva Candido, and her partner Kacyla Damasceno Pessao on May 31st.

Maycon had been suffering for a year as a result of a botched gender re-assignment operation performed by the pair with no medical supervision after his mother decided he should be a girl.

Brazil’s child protection agency said the women had attempted to perform a “Kind of a sex-change surgery. After removing the penis, they sewed the mutilated region and improvised a version of a female genital organ, making a cut in the groin.”

After being subjected to a year of physical and mental trauma, the boy was stabbed to death as he slept.

Maycon’s father first alerted police to concerns about the welfare of his son. The couple was able to evade authorities by moving around the country but were subsequently arrested.

“We tried to save Rhuan. We published messages on social media; we contacted the police and the Child Protective Services. No one helped us,” Maycon’s father told the press.

Metropoles reports- According to the deputy, they planned to kill the boy a month ago. First, they thought of poisoning him, but they deliberately stabbed him in the chest. Today, in testimony, they said they decided to do this because they wanted to move to another address.

The murder allegedly happened while the boy slept. According to deputy chief deputy of the 26th DP, Guilherme Sousa Melo, after being killed by knife blows, the women would have him quartered and tried to burn parts of the body in the barbecue of the residence.
