Renato Seabra, Carlos Castro Facebook Messages Sound Like Romance
Messages between gay Portuguese journalist Carlos Castro and his confessed killer, Renato Seabra, suggest romance between the men.
Seabra was arraigned Friday in New York on a murder charge via a video link from Bellevue Hospital.
The 21-year-old fashion model did not enter a plea and remained quiet as prosecutors accused him of bludgeoning to death and castrating the 65-year-old Castro on January 7 in the Inter-Continental New York Times Square Hotel room the pair were sharing.
Seabra earned fame last year on the Portuguese reality talent contest À Procura Do Sonho, or Pursuit of a Dream. He didn't win the contest but was signed to a modeling contract.
Castro had written articles and books about fashion and was a vocal gay rights advocate.
Seabra allegedly told investigators that he screamed at Castro “I'm not gay anymore!” while he kicked, punched and ultimately mutilated his lover with a wine corkscrew.
And Seabra's mother Odilia Pereirinha told Portugal's TVIndependente television network that her son “was not Carlos Castro's lover.”
Seabra “never hid his sexuality: that he is heterosexual,” she said, the AP reported.
But in Facebook messages that surfaced on Friday on the social network, Seabra flatters Castro and sends him a “big kiss.”
In their first conversation, dated October 9, Castro messages to Seabra, “Hello Renato thanks and a hug.”
In other conversations, Renato asks the journalist for advice on the fashion world.
In an October 16 exchange, Castro calls Seabra “querido,” a form of endearment that could suggest more than friendship.
Seabra replies, “As I said I think about you as well … I want to be with you! A big kiss.”
