Paulo Malhães was a Brazilian Army officer who died during a home invasion and robbery.[1][2] Shortly before his death Malhães had acknowledged he had tortured and killed dissidents, and was unapologetic for doing so.[3] According to the South China Morning Post his death was suspected to have been an act of retaliation, but his autopsy demonstrated that he died of a heart attack.
