Dandara dos Santos was dragged from her home into the street and kicked, punched, and hit with a plank of wood
A 42-year-old transgender woman identified as Dandara dos Santos, was reportedly dragged from her home into the street, kicked, punched, hit with shoes and a plank of wood, and was brutally beaten to death by a group of thugs who attacked her in a sickening transphobic attack in front of residents in Fortaleza, Ceara state, Brazil.
According to Dailymail, the harrowing footage of the attack, shows Dandara begging the savage attackers (who dragged her from her home) to spare her life, but her pleas fall on deaf ears.
As she lies on the ground covered in blood and struggling to stand, her callous attackers simply lift her into a wheelbarrow and roll her away to a back alley where she was beaten to death amid cheers and laughter.
The person who filmed the clip is heard saying in Portuguese'they will kill the f*****' and laughing while the attackers make cruel taunts about her hormone-therapy induced breasts and hurl homophobic insults.
The incident sparked outrage after the horrific footage was released by police last Friday to help find the alleged killers.
Police Inspector Damasceno who is investigating the death said:'Six people have been identified and the video has helped with that. The footage was first circulated among LGBT groups, which helped that process.
'The police began circulating the clip and we arrived at the house of two of the people identified but they fled. The investigation is already well advanced and we are going after the killers.'
