A notorious serial killer, Renato Teixeira, has been apprehended in Brazil after confessing to the murders of 14 individuals spanning a 16-year period. The 35-year-old was captured in Franco de Rocha, São Paulo, on Wednesday, bringing an end to his reign of terror.

During his interrogation at the police station, Teixeira initially admitted to nine of the killings. However, as he was escorted out of the building, he shockingly revealed to a reporter from Record TV that he was responsible for all 14 murders.

Authorities have identified Teixeira as a sex worker who targeted his victims through online dating apps between 2020 and 2022. The specific platforms he used remain unknown. The victims included two men from São Bernardo and Santo André in São Paulo and a woman from Pirutuba.

Teixeira operated under the alias 'Bruno' on the dating apps and consistently sought financial favors from his victims. 

According to São Bernardo police chief Roberto Krasovic, Teixeira would resort to violence, using knives or poison, when his demands were rejected. 

Krasovic stated that Teixeira persisted in his pursuit of new targets, even after committing the heinous crimes, refusing to accept any refusal.

Deputy police chief Giuliano Rossi revealed that Teixeira preferred using knives up to 15 centimeters long to carry out his killings.

Described as a psychopath by sectional police chief Kelly César, Teixeira displayed a chilling demeanor when recounting his crimes, even providing detailed information about his preferred choice of weapon.

Authorities began closing in on Teixeira following the murder of Mário Marchiani, 60, on December 3, 2022. 

Teixeira waited three days before sending a text message to the husband of the property owner, confessing to the murder and revealing the location of the body in one of the rooms. 

The victim's body was found in an advanced state of decomposition when the Military Police searched the rented home.
