Pedro Rodrigues Filho: The Butcher of Brazil – Serial Killer or Street-Level Savior?

May 6, 2025 • 10 mins

In this explosive episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale unravels the chilling and contradictory life of Pedro Rodrigues Filho — better known as Pedrinho Matador, Brazil’s most notorious vigilante serial killer. Born into violence and shaped by vengeance, Pedro claimed to kill only criminals: rapists, murderers, drug dealers — even his own father. With over 100 murders to his name, 47 of them committed behind prison walls, Pedro blurred the line between justice and pure bloodlust. From his first kill at 14 to his savage rampage behind bars, to his shocking post-prison transformation into a YouTube anti-crime crusader, this 28-minute journey digs into the soul of a man who was both feared and admired. Was he a monster with a moral code… or just a psychopath with a purpose? Find out in one of the most jaw-dropping episodes yet of Among Monsters.
