A man who recorded himself burning a Bible and then posted it online has been found shot de@d.

Antônio Rocha de Sousa's body was discovered on Wednesday, May 14, riddled with bullet wounds.

Police are treating his death as a homicide.

Just 10 days before his death, Antônio uploaded a clip where he was seen setting the holy book alight.

In the footage, the 47-year-old flicked a lighter at the Bible and said: "This here is a Bible, which they say is sacred. Look what it does when faced with fire. It burns."

He added: "To me, God doesn't exist. This is just a way to enslave and manipulate people. If you haven't woken up yet, it's time to wake up. Look what this 'sacred' thing does in the face of fire. It's time to wake up – God doesn't exist."

Police said Antônio was gunned down in a street in Tianguá, out west from Fortaleza, Brazil. Yet other reports suggests locals came across his corpse in his home, where he lived alone, and called the police, reports the Mirror.

Officials are investigating the incident, with no arrests having been made yet.

A police spokesperson told the press: "We are looking into all possibilities."

They're investigating whether they link back to the video or the man's past run-ins with the law.

Reports say Antônio had history of causing intentional harm.

They suspect the Bible he burnt was stolen.

Police kicked off a theft, damage, and sacrilege probe on 10 May.

He also had previous for GBH, reports state. His social media contained several rants and opinions, available to the public, which he published frequently.

Antônio last shared on social media: "Follower of Christ, (peacekeeper of Peace). Born again in (Christ), among the living, who were once de@d...after having been tested, tried, and approved by God."

This case is similar to Salwan Momika's – when he got shot in his home in Södertälje, just outside Stockholm, back in January of this year. The 38-year-old Iraqi landed in Sweden as a refugee in 2018 and made headlines for burning Qurans in 2023.

Werey burn the Bible and he was killed afterwards. What is there to say again?
He got his punishment on earth before reaching hell fire.
May his disturbed soul rest in peace

BlocksNG:
That's bad. We are not Muslims who can't take criticism, the killers must be apprehend and face the law.

Go say this nonsense for Kano.

If you ask me na who I go ask?

What he needed was psychoanalysis and therapy... Not the heater

May his soul find rest and forgiveness

God doesn't take delight when a sinner perishes in his sins, unfortunately, there is no repentance in the life after. Jesus is real, his heavenly government is real. May he help us to draw closer to him before the appointed time!

No, that's not how Christians do things. If what he did was against their law, it is the govt who should take it up, because his action hurt no one (it wasn't another person's bible he burnt, didn't burn a church or a Christian). When Muslims do it, we condemn and if a Christian does it, we should condemn it too!

Psoul:
The post did not specified that he was killed because of the Bible he burnt.
It was said that he was known for causing harm to people.
So there's probability that he was killed to avenge for his past deeds or for the burning of the Bible

Angelfrost:
Firstly, there's no proof that his killing had any connection to the burning of the Holy book...!
The blogger here was trying to draw views by personally drawing nonexistent connections.
The people killed for desecrating the Quran were

My post was a response to somebody that was jubilant about it.

He is not a werey(crazy fella). He burnt his own property. Nowhere did the bible put the letter above the words.

The man was foolish to say the least for believing those chanting our god will fight for himself or our religion preaches nonviolence. They are hypocrites - they unleash violence even more viciously
and faster than the otherside.

Hahahahaha, turn the other cheek...!

God is slow to anger, merciful and wants every sinner to come to repentance.
He lived a reckless life that took his life.

Everything around human are cult.

We only heard news like this from the other camp, what happen this time

Maybe Muslim people don kill am... Remember you had to lie the defend Islam so propaganda is allowed in Islam

Brazilians won't forgive him for this

Ok

Lying has no place in Islam but in Christianity.
Paul apostle ,the founder of Christianity even affirmed it

Okay na. This is Christian terrorism
