Brazilian admits killing 41 people 'for fun'
A Brazilian man accused of stabbing a woman to death in a Rio suburb has confessed to have murdered 41 people, almost all of them women, "for the fun of it," police said.
"I don't feel remorse -- if I go to jail for 10, 15, 20 years, then as soon as I get out I'll do the same thing all over again," he insisted.
Under Brazilian law, the maximum prison term is 30 years.
The country has never had capital punishment.

"I would wait for an opportunity to break into the house and kill," Das Gracas told reporters, adding he would often watch his victims for months before making his move.
"When I didn't do it I would get nervous, then I would go hunting" for other victims, he added.
He said his wife was aware of the murders.
Pretty crazy stuff.
