Brazilian skinhead charged with stabbing gay man | News | Advocate.com

Police in southern Brazil have arrested the alleged leader of a Nazi-sympathizing group of skinheads and his wife on attempted murder charges for stabbing a gay man, authorities said Thursday. A police statement said Eduardo Toniolo Del Segue, 25, and his wife, Edwiges Francis Barroso, 26, stabbed the man one month ago in Curitiba, some 220 miles southwest of Sao Paulo. The victim, who was treated and released shortly after the attack, did not manage to identify his assailants until Wednesday. The group of neo-Nazi skinheads allegedly led by Del Segue had been under investigation for more than a month for attacking Jews, blacks, and gays. Pro-Nazi books, flags, and CDs were found in the couple's house, the statement said.
