Pedro Rodrigues Filho - Killer Petey

Nicknamed “Killer Petey,” Pedro is one of Brazil’s most infamous serial killers, with a body count that may exceed 100 victims. But what sets him apart from most serial murderers is that many of his victims were criminals themselves — murderers, rapists, and drug dealers. Was he a twisted vigilante, or just another cold-blooded killer?
