Male model Renato Seabra 21, had a relationship with Carlos Castro 65, who was a well-known journalist and gay activist. Sadly their fling ended with murder. After his 65 year old lover wanted to end the relationship Seabra beat him to death. The 65-year-old Castro was found dead Friday night in room 3416 of the InterContinental New York Times Square hotel that the two men had shared. His unclothed body was covered in blood on the floor and he had been castrated, police said. The medical examiner's office ruled that Castro died from a combination of blunt impact head injuries and strangulation, according to spokeswoman Grace Burgess.
“Seabra, a Portuguese male model, was so tortured by his 7 month relationship with Castro that he beat him to death, castrated him with a corkscrew, then wore the dead man's manhood on his arms as he believed it had healing powers,” his defense lawyer said at Friday's opening of the murder trial.
