'I'm a victim here, too': Confessed Brazilian serial killer says childhood sex abuse, women's rejection drove him to murder 39 people

[...]
man who confessed to murdering 39 people said his craving to kill started when he was sexually abused as a child — and the urge only got more intense when women romantically rejected him as he grew older.

Tiago Gomes da Rocha admitted last week to killing dozens of people, including teenage girls and homeless men, over the last four years in the city of Goiania.
[....]
arrested after police linked a gun in his home to the murders of six women this year.

Rocha's murderous urges started when he was 11 years old,
[...]
"I had an ordinary childhood until I was 11. Then I was sexually abused by a neighbor," he said. "After that I felt like I was nothing.

"In a way I'm a victim here, too,"
[...]
His rage grew with him through his adolescence. When he reached adulthood, it peaked,
[...]
"When I was 22, I couldn't stop myself anymore. It was like I had to do it
[...]
That's when he killed his first victim: a homeless person, he said.
[...]
Soon, he started targeting women and girls,
[...]
Some were as young as 14.

"I was rejected a lot in the past, so I directed part of my anger towards women,"
[...]
Rocha said he shot many of his victims while speeding past them on his motorcycle. Some of the women were walking home when he shot them. Others were waiting at bus stops, he said.

"My mind went blank, but I would cry later,"
[...]
noting that he was emotionless when he randomly selected his targets.
He also stabbed prostitutes and robbed stores, he said. Footage from one stickup helped police nab the serial killer earlier this month.

Previously, Rocha's lawyers said he confessed to crimes he didn't commit after police aggressively interrogated him.

But the 26-year-old again confirmed that he was the killer to the newspaper.

"I want to ask forgiveness,"

“he is considered to be a very calm person.”

And now you know why he is calm, he took all his rage on innocent people who had never knew him, much less hurt him.

"I was rejected a lot in the past, so I directed part of my anger towards women,"

I have no doubt he had a fucked up childhood but with his looks I find it hard to believe he was rejected enough to make him hate women. Unless he has a really really really bad personality. (besides being a serial killer, lol)

Awe...he would cry later....ok, then. All is forgiven.

Well, goddamn. I suppose I'm supposed to be a serial killer. Hmm.
Molested at a young age, bullied in school, rejected by men.
Shit. Who do I kill first? ... this guy.
