Buttock surgeon killed in suspected revenge attack
A Brazilian woman accused of carrying out illegal silicon implant procedures has been killed in a suspected revenge attack.
Marcilene Soares Gama, 49, had been accused by clients of using industrial silicone for buttock enlargement.
At the time of her death she faced court action over charges she pretended to be a doctor.
Police in Rio de Janeiro are looking for a man caught on a surveillance camera entering her flat on Saturday.
Her body was found hours later on a nearby road.
The man tied her hands behind her back, made her get in his car and shot her in the face before disposing of the body.
The killing has the hallmarks of a revenge attack, police said.
“Forensic experts concluded that she was shot in the face at close range, which is usually a sign of anger and hatred,” chief investigator Fabio Cardoso told O Globo newspaper.
At least ten women have come forward saying their bodies were ruined in botched implant procedures carried out by Ms Gama.
