There’s a serial killer known as a real-life “Dexter” who murdered criminals

Pedro Rodrigues Filho isn’t exactly Dexter, but he’s a serial killer that killed other criminals. Which would make him one of the “nicer” serial killers.

Pedro Rodrigues Filho is a serious serial killer. He is responsible for at least 70 murders, 10 of which he committed before he was 18.

However, being a good guy can actually pay off when it comes to Pedro Rodrigues Filho. Rodrigues targeted victims most of whom were not just average everyday people. Described as the “perfect psychopath” by one analyst. Rodrigues persecuted other criminals and those who wronged him.

From the moment he came into the world, the life of Rodrigues started rough. He was born in 1954 with an injured skull in Minas Gerais, Brazil. As a result of a beating, his mother took from his father while she was pregnant.

When he was only 14, Rodrigues committed his first killing. The victim was the vice-major of his town. The man had recently fired the father of Rodrigues for allegedly stealing food from the school, who was working as a school guard.

It wasn’t long after his second murder. Rodrigues went on to murder another guard who was the supposed real food thief.

He fled to Sao Paulo, Brazil’s Mogi das Cruze’s area. Rodrigues killed a drug dealer once there and also participated in some burglaries. He also fell in love. Her name was Maria Aparecida Olympia and the two lived together until gang members killed her.

Olympia’s death spurred Rodrigues’ next crime spree. He tracked down several people related to her murder, torturing and killing them in his mission to find the gang member who took Olympia’s life.

The next notorious murder Pedro Rodrigues Filho committed was also one of vengeance. This time the target was his own father, the same man he committed his first murder on behalf of.

Rodrigues’ father had used a machete to kill Rodrigues’ mother and was doing time at a local prison. Pedro Rodrigues visited his father in jail, where he killed him by stabbing him 22 times.

Then, taking things to a whole other level, Rodrigues proceeded to cut out his father’s heart before chewing on it.

When the police opened the car door, they discovered that Rodrigues had killed the rapist.

It was the start of a whole new chapter. Being thrown in prison, where he was surrounded by convicts, well that was Rodrigues’ bread and butter.

Pedro Rodrigues Filho killed at least 47 of his fellow inmates, which made up a majority of his murders. It’s reported that the convicts Rodrigues killed while incarcerated were ones who he felt deserved retribution.

He was interviewed saying that he got a thrill and joy out of killing other criminals. He also said that his favorite method of murder was by stabbing or hacking with blades.

Though Rodrigues was initially sentenced to 128 years in prison, the crimes he committed while he was in jail upped his sentence to 400 years. But by Brazilian law, the maximum prison sentence is 30 years.

He served an additional four for the murders he carried out in prison. So in 2007, he was released.

Pedro Rodrigues Filho is notorious in Brazil, not just for the many people he killed, but for promising the murder of other criminals.
