A hitman who shot dead a beauty queen was arrested by police after they identified him via a gruesome tattoo of her burned face on his arm.

The case is believed to have been the result of a dispute over control of drug trafficking in the region, which is strategic for receiving drugs from Paraguay to be distributed throughout Brazil and even other countries.
Feitosa is believed to have had a fight with a well-known drug trafficker in the region on the same day as the crime.
