Block Murdered????!!!!!
Block Murdered????!!!!!Sao Paulo, Brazil: A 43-year-old man was found murdered at his hotel in Sao Paulo on Sunday. Police have detained a domestic help as primary suspect in the case.
Police have not yet been able to find the motive behind the murder and have started questioning nearby residents and relatives of the deceased.
The victim was identified as Carson Block, an individual of short selling fame. Block, whose body was spotted by a woman at 10:30 AM on Sunday when she had come for the routine chores in the room as domestic help. She then quickly informed police.
"I have been informed that he (Block) seemed secretive and wore sun glasses almost all the time. I found him dead on the bed itself. His body didn't bear any struggle marks. However, the post-mortem showed strangulation as cause of death. It might have been done with bare hands," said M C Patel, inspector of Sao Paula district #32 station.
"At the moment, we have not been able to establish whether there was further foul play, but we can't rule out the possibility that Patel was targeted as he was almost always alone," he added.
The inspector said that police have rounded up a male domestic help who used to work at the victim's hotel and who was found missing at the time of murder. Also being questioned are those who may have had any contact with him, in or outside of the hotel.
