SAO PAULO: Police say angry spectators invaded a soccer field, stoned and quarter quartered the referee to death after he stabbed a player to death.
The Public Safety Department of the state of Maranhao said the violence started when referee Otavio da Silva expelled player Josenir Abreu from a game. The referee and player got into a fist fight, then Silva took out a knife and stabbed Abreu, who died.

- Wow. I thought our version on Football was violent. How tragic and what does it say about us as humans?
It is very disheartening to see how quickly people can revert to such barbaric behavior.
Nothing new - of the first two humans born on Earth - one killed the other.

Kathleen Coad O'Brien sorry, South America is the stronghold of Roman Catholics.
But I thought Muslims were the only group that beheaded???? At least according to people like you...

we'll wait until the names come out, pretty sure it won't be a Christian that decapitated Silva and stuck his head on a stake in the middle of the field. Keep believing though.
