A hired killer fell in love with his target then faked her death with the help of some ketchup, Daily Mail reported.

Hitman Carlos Roberto de Jesus, from Brazil, was allegedly paid £345 to murder Iranildes Araujo. He was allegedly contracted by housewife Maria Nilza Simoes, who was convinced Iranildes was having an affair with her husband. But when de Jesus saw his intended victim he fell head over heels in love with her and confessed the plot.

The pair then used ketchup to fake the scene and fool his employer into believing he had carried out the hit. But the ruse was discovered three days later when Simoes saw the hired assassin kissing the very woman he was meant to have bumped off.

The three suspects were arrested by police. The hit man and his "victim" face extortion charges and the woman who hired him charges of making threats to kill.

杀手爱上谋杀对象引闹剧

       据英国《每日邮报》报道，一名杀手受雇杀人，却爱上了谋杀对象，因此，他用番茄酱做了一个假死亡现场。

       巴西的一名家庭主妇玛丽娅•妮尔扎•西蒙斯认为，一名叫做伊兰妮德斯•阿拉娇的女子与自己的丈夫有染，就雇佣了杀手卡罗斯•罗伯特•吉瑟斯来杀掉她，并付给了杀手345英磅。但当吉瑟斯看到他的谋杀对象时，对她一见钟情，就向她坦白了这一事情。

       两人之后用番茄酱假做了一个杀人现场，使他的雇主相信阿拉娇已死。但三天之后这事就败露了，西蒙斯看到她雇的杀手正在亲吻他应该去杀掉的阿拉娇。

       目前三人均已被捕。杀手和他的谋杀对象面临敲诈罪的指控，而西蒙斯则面临威胁杀人罪的指控。
