According to Web Pro News this Saturday, July 6, after a soccer player was flagged by a referee during a match in Brazil, the player began to fight with the ref. Once the referee pulled out a knife and proceeded to stab the athlete, killing him, the fans around the field suddenly attacked the referee themselves, cutting his head off.
The decapitated referee allegedly had his head put on a stake and placed in the middle of the field following the brutal decapitation. In Maranhao, a Brazilian state, one unfortunate soccer referee named Otavia da Silva got into a fist fight with soccer player Josenir Abreu. When he stabbed the player with his knife — in fact killing him, as Abreu died on the way to the hospital — fans in the crowd took justice into their own hands against da Silva.
Taking stones that were scattered near the soccer field, the soon-to-be decapitated referee was stoned to death by the fans .... http://www.examiner.com
