Tiago Henrique Gomes da Rocha (born 4 February 1988) is a Brazilian former security guard and serial killer who has claimed to have killed 39 people.[1] He approached his victims on a motorbike and shouted "robbery" before shooting them.[2] However, he never took anything.[1] He targeted homeless people, women and homosexuals in Goiás.[1][3] Sixteen of his victims were female, with the youngest being a 14-year-old girl whom he killed in January 2014.[3]
Gomes da Rocha was arrested after being caught riding a motorbike with a fake plate. He earlier caught the attention of police after they discovered that he was facing trial for stealing the number plate off a motorbike at a supermarket in Goiania in January 2014. A motorbike, stolen plates and the suspected murder weapon, a .38 revolver, were retrieved from a home he shared with his mother.[3] He attempted suicide in his prison cell on 16 October 2014 by slashing his wrists with a smashed light bulb.[4][2] Gomes da Rocha has claimed to have had murderous urges since age 11, when he was sexually abused by a neighbor.[5]
In May 2016, he was convicted of 11 murders and sentenced to 25 years in prison.[6][7][8]
