Witnesses said the crime was committed by two men on a black motorcycle. The 33 yo victim was a member of the Association of Football Referees.

The two men's motorbike is black? Hmmm, we may find out who these elusive killers are after all.

I was hoping this was during a game at a packed stadium.

Did he have time to red card them?

i sincerely doubt 10% of crimes are even solved in these countries. it seems like police work is a pass time rather then a career.

In 2006 49,145 people were murdered in Brazil, an increase when compared to 2005, when 47,578 people were killed. The year of 2003 still holds the record for total number of murders in Brazil; that year alone 51,043 people were murdered.

In 2010, there were 473,600 people incarcerated in Brazilian prisons and jails. Drugs are responsible for 85,000 of the total tally.

Rio de Janeiro's public defenders' department says the Brazilian state has accumulated more than 60,000 unsolved murders in the last 10 years.

The survey shows that 24,000 of the victims haven't even been identified.

Creation of a special homicide division in the city of Rio de Janeiro did little to improved the solution rate. It went from 11 percent to 14 percent.

Across Brazil, police solve about 8 percent of murders.

In the United States and in European countries the rates are reportedly around 70 percent to 80 percent.
