Mother ‘searched how to dismember a body BEFORE she got drunk, murdered nine-year-old daughter and stuffed child’s remains in refrigerator’

• Ruth Floriano confessed to killing her nine-year-old daughter Alany Silva
• The 30-year-old mother-of-three said she browsed the internet for the ‘easier way’ to dismember a body
• Floriano said she killed Silva about two or three days after her August 6 birthday  

A Brazilian mother allegedly browsed the internet to learn how to dismember a body before she killed her nine-year-old daughter, keeping the hacked remains in a refrigerator for almost three weeks.

Ruth Floriano, 30, was arrested Saturday in the southeastern city of São Paulo after the mother of her boyfriend made the gruesome discovery at the home where she had moved into.

A judge ordered the mother-of-three held in pre-trial detention as part of the investigation. Her two other children were placed with a city agency.

Floriano researched the internet because she was looking for the ‘easier way’ to cut her daughter Alany Silva into pieces, according to the Civil Police.

She revealed that she killed her daughter for declining to accept the end of a relationship with her ex-boyfriend, who loved Silva as if she was his own child.

Floriano was questioned on the scene by Military Police agents and told them she had met a man on a dating app and invited him to her home in the east side of São Paulo about ‘approximately a month ago.’ She said that they took drugs and slept together. She claimed that Silva was already dead when she woke up and denied she had killed her.

While she did not say who murdered Silva, she did acknowledge to placing the body parts in the refrigerator.

Once at the police station, Floriano said that she consumed drugs and made the decision to kill her daughter between August 8 and 9. She said that she stabbed Silva while she was brushing her teeth and stuffed the remains in the refrigerator and then disposed of them in a nearby sewer.

Police said that Floriano stabbed Silva in the chest and admitted to cooking a part of it.

Authorities are looking into whether the Silva was killed before August 6 – her birthdate.

Floriano and her children moved to a new home in the west side of São Paulo on August 15 and had the refrigerator wrapped with a sheet and ribbons, according to a mover who spoke to the police.

She left the home between last Friday and Saturday morning when her boyfriend’s mother visited the home and said she was going find her former husband, with whom Silva had been staying.

For reasons unknown, the woman believed that Floriano had kept drugs or a weapon in the refrigerator and unearthed Silva’s dismembered body.

Silva was Floriano’s daughter from a prior relationship with a man who lives in the interior region of São Paulo. She lived with her dad and his family for an unknown period before she rejoined her mother.

Floriano’s ex-boyfriend, who she stabbed about three months ago, also cared for Alany, according to her sister, Aline Floriano.

‘He had a love for Alany, it was something inexplicable, you saw pictures of them together and thought they were father and daughter, there’s no way,’ Aline Floriano told Brazilian news outlet Band. ‘She said it was, from what I hear, it was to hit hurt and she did.’

She said that Silva frequently stayed at her home and always told her that she preferred to live with her and her children because her mother would hit her. On one occasion Ruth Floriano banged her daughter’s head against a wall.

‘She spoke directly at the police station and all the family heard that she wanted to kill him and the other children, finish the job and kill herself,’ Aline Floriano said.
