RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – APRIL 7, 2011 Wellington Menezes de Olivera, 23, committed one of the worst school massacres in Brazil. He came to the Tasso da Silveira Primary School armed with two revolvers and several speed loaders. At the entrance, he identified himself as a former student of the school and asked for permission to enter under the pretext of consulting school records. He was allowed to enter.

However, instead of going to the school principal’s office, he headed to the second floor where he entered an eighth grade classroom. He was reportedly very polite at first, but suddenly opened fire on the children. He fired selectively. He killed the girls outright, while shooting the boys only in the limbs to immobilize them. In all, he killed 12 stdents, 10 of whom were girls. Another 22 students were wounded.
When the police stormed the school, he was on his way to the next floor to continue killing children. But the police shot him, he fell down the stairs and then killed himself by shooting himself in the head.
His dead body
Oliveira was obsessed with terrorist acts and Islam, to which he had converted from Jehovah’s Witnesses. Very ashamed of his past he did everything he could to justify himself before Allah for his sinful past. He even expressed a desire to move to a majority Muslim country. However, no religious motive could be confirmed in connection with his act.
HIS LETTER:
First of all you should know that the impure ones shall not touch me without gloves, only the chaste ones or those who lost their chastity after wedlock and were not involved in adultery shall touch me without gloves, in other words, no fornicator or adulterer shall have direct contact with me, nor should anything that is impure touch my blood, no impure person shall have contact with a virgin without their permission, those who prepare my burial shall remove all my garments, bathe me, dry me and drape me completely undressed in a white sheet which is in this building, in a bag that I have left in the primary room of the first floor, after wrapping me in this sheet they shall put me in my coffin. If possible, I want to be buried alongside the grave where my mother lies. My mother is called Dicéa Menezes de Oliveira and she is buried in Murundu cemetery. I need a visit from a faithful follower of the Lord to my grave at least once, I need him to pray in front of my grave asking for God’s forgiveness for what I have done imploring that Jesus on his return wake me from the sleep of death for eternal life. I have left a house in Sepetiba of which none of my family members need, there are poor institutions, financed by generous people who take care of abandoned animals, I want this space where I spent my last months to be donated to one of these institutions, because animals are very unappreciated beings and need much more protection and affection than human beings who have the advantage of being able to communicate, work to feed themselves, therefore, those who take my house, I please ask to have good sense and fulfill my request, by fulfilling my request, you will fulfill the will of the parents who wished to pass this estate onto me and everybody knows this, if you do not fulfill my request, automatically you will be disrespecting the will of my parents, which will prove that you have no consideration for them, I believe that you all have respect for our parents, prove this by doing what I asked.
