A BRAZILIAN beauty queen was shot dead by a hitman who got a heinous tattoo of her burned face on his hand.

In 2018, the tragic discovery of 21-year-old Bruna Zucco Segatin and her 30-year-old boyfriend, Valdir de Brito Feitosa, shocked many when they were found deceased in the back of a burned-out pick-up truck.

The unnamed killer was seized on 7th June after seven years on the run, in Altonia, Brazil.

Bruna’s face was tragically disfigured by flames after the truck was set on fire, which the suspect appeared to have heinously inked on him.

A shocking police photo of the suspected killer shows the alleged sick memento tattooed on his left hand.

Police chief Reginaldo Caetano said: “The tattoo on the suspect depicts a woman with part of her face on fire.

“Bruna’s body was located burned and charred in the back of a pick-up truck.”

Cops believe that Bruna’s boyfriend Valdir was the main target, and the former Miss Altonia just happened to be with him.

Officers say they seized the gunman after linking the alleged killings to local drugs and contraband trafficking rivals.

The tattoo was found after the suspect was arrested on Saturday.

Investigators said he was hird to go to Altonia to commit the horrific killing – but the target was Valdir.

In the arrest operation, three other men were also cuffed with one of them identified as the mastermind, local media reports.

Cops say that important evidence was destroyed in the fire where the bodies of Bruna and Valdir were found.

A few days ago, a glamorous bodybuilder was found dead in a swimming pool while on holiday, sparking a police probe.

Luz María Barrera Agatón died in the early hours of Sunday morning while holidaying with her family, before loved ones found her tragic corpse.

The beauty influencer was staying at the Coco Resort & Villas Hotel with family and friends in Motul, west of Cancun, Mexico.

She had been chatting with them around the cenote-style pool before they made their way to bed at around midnight.

Luz was left alone before she was later seen floating lifeless in the hotel pool.

The tragic athlete was retrieved from the water and emergency services were called immediately.

Paramedics rushed to the scene but could do nothing to save the young woman’s life.
