After Castrating, Murdering Gay Lover, The Killer Tells Cops 'I'm Not Gay Anymore'

Renato Seabra, a 20-year-old Portuguese model, is The Killer. He was charged with murder after he castrated (with a wine corkscrew) and killed Carlos Castro, 65, his sugar daddy, in a NYC hotel room last Friday.

The couple had been dating since October, sources said, and was supposed to be vacationing in New York through Jan. 15. But Seabra allegedly confronted Castro, telling him that he was not gay and was only using him for his money and influence, sources said. The pair got into a heated dispute, sources said. The model told investigators that he beat, kicked and punched the helpless Castro for more than an hour as the older man lay on the floor of the 34th-floor room. Seabra then allegedly bashed Castro in the head with a heavy computer monitor. Seabra took a wine corkscrew to mutilate his victim, plunging it into one of Castro's eyes and then using it to cut off his testicles, sources said. The mutilation was long and gruesome. "It wasn't a two-minute thing," one source said. Castro may have still been alive but was likely unconscious at this point, the sources said. After the slaying, Seabra took a shower and put on a suit. At some point before leaving, he slit his wrists.

After he was nabbed, Renato told investigators "I'm not gay anymore!" That's doubtful. He said he killed Carlos, a fashion journalist, "to get rid of demons, to get rid of the virus." "The virus" does not refer to AIDS, although it was unclear what exactly Renato meant. Cops do know, however, the assaulted lasted for more than an hour.
