LONDON - Three people in north-east Brazil have been sentenced to 20 to 23 years in jail for killing a woman and eating her in what they said was a "purification" ritual, BBC reported.
The trio also allegedly sold pastries known as empadas stuffed with the woman's flesh to neighbours, the report said on Saturday.
Jorge Beltrao Negromonte da Silveira was given 23 years' imprisonment by a judge on Friday while his wife, Isabel Cristina Pires, and his mistress, Bruna Cristina Oliveira da Silva, were sentenced to 20 years.
They also confessed to killing two more women and will be sentenced later, BBC said.
The trio, arrested in the city of Garanhuns in April 2012, were convicted of murder, desecration and concealment of a body.
