A mother who beheaded her six-year-old son in a satanic ritual has died after having an armed face-off with police in Brazil. Maria Mendes, 26, had been hospitalized since September 20 after cops shot at her when she murdered her young son, Miguel Alves, inside her apartment in the northeast city of João Pessoa.  The twisted mother was shot 14 times but survived, before later developing an infection related to the gunshot wounds. She died early Thursday morning. The terrifying incident unfolded after the Paraiba Military Police responded to an emergency call from neighbors after hearing a defenseless Alves clamoring for help. Audio provided by residents to investigators showed Alves was heard screaming ‘Help, I’m going to die,’ ‘Help, help me,’ and ‘Mommy, I love you.’ Agents initially thought they were responding to reports of an assault before they entered the apartment and found Mendes sitting on a chair with Alves’ head on her lap. The police officers attempted to arrest Mendes, who then tried to attack them with a knife. Cops then opened fire on the woman. Authorities searched the home and also found their pet cat in pain in one of the two bedrooms.  They also recovered multiple videos that contained satanic decapitation rituals. Investigators have yet to say what drove Mendes to murder her son in the apartment. Neighbors told police that Mendes and Alves had moved into the home in August, but not much was known about her. Mendes was facing cruelty, homicide and attempted homicide charges.  Paraiba Civil Police chief Luísa Correia told Brazilian news outlet G1 that case was archived, and declined to comment further.

Doha, Qatar: Qatar’s beach volleyball stars, Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan are aiming to excel in the Beach Pro Tour – Elite 16 tournament, getting underway in Joao Pessoa, Brazil, from October 16. Following a series of strong performances at the Arab Beach Volleyball Championship and the Paris Olympics, the former World No.1 pair will be looking to make their mark on the international stage once again. Competing in Pool A in the opening stage in Joao Pessoa, Younousse and Tijan are set to face stiff competition from two formidable teams. In the first two matches, they will meet the home pair of George Souto Maior Wanderley and Loyola Stein Andre, as well as Argentina’s Nicolas Capogrosso and Tomas Capogrosso. The Qatari pair’s opening match is scheduled for October 17 against the Capogrosso brothers. A day later, they will take on Brazilian pair of Wanderle and Andre, currently ranked fourth in the world. On October 19, Younousse and Tijan will take on Seed 16 in their final pool match. Younousse and Tijan, ranked 17th in the world, recently excelled by winning a bronze medal at the Arab Championship in Tunisia on September 10, exactly a month after they finished fourth place at the Paris Games. In their bronze-medal match, Younousse and Tijan dominated Saudi Arabia with a resounding straight-set win, after a tough semi-final against Oman, where they narrowly missed the final after losing in a three-set thriller. In Paris, the Tokyo 2020 bronze winners missed the chance of securing back-to-back Olympic podium finishes when they lost the bronze medal match to Norway’s top pair, Anders Mol and Christian Sorum. The Joao Pessoa Elite16 is part of the prestigious Beach Pro Tour, where only the best teams compete. The finals are scheduled to take place on October 20. The Beach Pro Tour Finals featuring the 10 best teams in the world will be held in Doha, from December 4-7. All content on this site: Copyright © 2025 Elsevier B.V., its licensors, and contributors.

All rights reserved one silver and three bronze – in the eight editions of the IHF Women’s Beach Handball World Championship it is hard to believe Brazil’s women’s side finished sixth in El Gouna at the very first World Championships in 2004 as they have now become one of the most dominant teams in the sport Rostov-Don and Brazil International Mayssa Pessoa winner of the 2013 IHF Women’s World Championship (indoor handball) talked to IHF.info about her sandy beginnings While Brazil may not have invented the sport – that is widely accepted as Italy – the country is the spiritual home for it in many ways winning seven World Championship medals themselves the centre of beach handball is the north-eastern port city of João Pessoa was it any surprise that a handball player named Pessoa from a city called Pessoa took up the sandy sport “In Brazil I was already playing indoor handball in my city and then my first handball coach showed me beach handball when I was 15,” said Pessoa to IHF.info from her Russian home “I started playing beach and a few years later she picked me to play for a João Pessoa selection team in a regional tournament a few months before the 2004 IHF Women’s Beach Handball World Championship “Brazil’s national team coach Claudia Monteiro came to watch us at that tournament which was in Fortaleza and where we finished third talented players from our region and had heard about me and the team and then I got the call up to the national team I was so happy; I cried with happiness and my mother and father were so happy for me.” Pessoa’s father was a big sporting inspiration for her and almost had his own professional career – as a central midfielder in football – but gave up the chance opting to finish studying with the aim of becoming a university teacher football was a big part of Pessoa’s life too with Brazilian national team goalkeeper 1994 FIFA World Cup winner and current Brazilian goalkeeping coach Claudio Taffarel one of her sporting inspirations But with the future national team goalkeeper playing many sports at Colégio Lourdinas João Pessoa – which she joined at four years old – coach Marques who would later go on to become a World Championship-winning coach with Brazil managed to focus Pessoa’s mind solely on handball which she had only started to play at the age of 10 but handball made me fall in love with it,” explained Pessoa “I think it was around 2000 when I played a beach competition for the first time; the ‘Taça Kika’ tournament which coach Marques runs in my city every year and I kept being voted best goalkeeper every year I played in it I won many medals because I was always playing in such a high category.” with the passion for beach handball running through her veins while Brazil’s sixth rank meant Pessoa and her teammates returned home empty-handed – of medals as Pessoa was voted into the All-star Team as best goalkeeper it was a very good experience for all of us and we all had a good feeling about our next steps in the next competitions; we knew that Brazil could grow and be the best team in the future,” said the former HC Vardar player “I was so happy and so proud when I won the award for the best goalkeeper in the world I will never forget when they announced it; I was crying already as my coach told me a little bit before the awarding that I was going to get it Brazil became world champions at the World Games in Germany and I won the best goalkeeper in the world award again.” Those 2005 World Games were held in Duisburg Germany where beach handball was present for the second event running as a demonstration sport following a successful introduction in Akita it was a great experience in my career and in my life,” said Pessoa “We played against so many great teams and I saw so many athletes and sports together We beat Hungary in the final when I remember I shot the last ball from inside of my goal to win the game I cried so much with happiness and it is still a very clear memory for me “It was like a mini-Olympic Games for the sports that were not in the Olympic Games and I hope beach handball will be another one to add to that list soon.”  Pessoa then moved to Portugal to start her European indoor career but she would stay with Brazil on the sand until 2008 at the IHF Women’s Beach Handball World Championship “It was because of beach handball I moved to Portugal to play indoor for Andebol Gil Eanes,” she said “The President of the club flew to João Pessoa to see me and talk with my father and mother to let me go and play there so I flew to Portugal in October 2005 and there my professional life started "I already had my goalkeeping style and played the same in beach as I did indoor as a goalkeeper in beach you need to run more than indoor Pessoa had moved to Spain after her impressive performances in Portugal had been noticed by the club Ermua but it was a move which would prevent her from winning gold with Brazil on home sand on the world-famous Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro at the 2006 IHF Women’s Beach Handball World Championship the club didn’t let me go and play beach handball because they didn’t accept players playing beach handball but in 2008 I had moved to another Spanish club I asked them if I could play for Brazil at Cadiz 2008 and they said ‘okay “The problem was that I hadn’t played or trained with beach handball for two years and I did get injured in the tournament but the win against Italy to get bronze was amazing It was very nice to be back on the sand after a long break however that was the last time I played on the sand as right after that I finished and started playing for the Brazilian indoor side.” Pessoa has gone on to have a very successful indoor career winning that 2013 World Championship as well as the 2015/16 EHF Women’s Champions League with CSM Bucuresti 2013 Pan American Games and numerous national club competitions She also appeared at the London 2012 Olympic Games and the 2016 edition I did imagine it because I dreamt for everything which happened in my career and fought for it,” said Pessoa who never played in an IHF Women’s Junior or Youth World Championship before joining the senior team “I was sure about my skills and knew it was possible to do it but beach handball really helped me to start my professional career so many big things have happened and I’m really proud that I could make my name in world handball.” who has played for 12 clubs in seven different countries will be 36 and thoughts may be turning to what to do post playing you can have a longer career than other players but I’m thinking maybe my career stops in two or three years,” she revealed It is growing across the world and I am 100% sure it is a sport that will be very successful when it becomes part of the Olympic Games “The Brazilian Handball Confederation have many new projects planned for beach handball in the future to ensure we see new talents and keep Brazil at the very top and they want me to help it grow I am sure I will be involved with Brazilian beach handball teams in the future either through playing or on the staff.” Pessoa is still regularly in touch with current Brazilian beach players won bronze at the 2019 ANOC World Beach Games in Qatar and she’s also from my hometown,” said Pessoa “After Kazan 2018 (IHF Women’s Beach Handball World Championship she came to visit me in my home in Rostov-on-Don and stayed with me for just under 10 days Pessoa has already managed to squeeze in a lifetime of different handball experiences already but she is quick to acknowledge those who have helped her along the way so many people who have helped me and made me stronger when I was fighting to have a big career,” she said “I want to especially say thank you to all of my coaches that I had throughout my career; every single one has been very important in the whole process “But there are also people who didn’t help me; who wanted to hinder my career but for all those people I’m grateful because without them I wouldn’t get where I am today it gave me a greater motivation to win in life “I want to give an extra special thank-you to my mother father and sister who always supported me no matter what; they always wanted me to follow my dreams.” While looking back to the past and forward to the future it is the here and now which Pessoa is most concerned with is severely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 global outbreak “These are very strange times at the moment,” she said We are doing online training with our personal trainer from Rostov-Don every day He sends us programmes to follow and video training “My family are all in Brazil and my sister and mother want me to stay here in Russia so we need to wait and see what will happen one close to her home and one more than two hours away,” she added there are many people with coronavirus – she is a hero and I am thinking of everyone working in hospitals “One thing we all know is that this will pass By continuing to browse ihf.info, you agree to our terms of use , privacy policy and the use of cookies.
