Police have killed a gunman who slaughtered seven in a fit of rage after losing two games of pool in Brazil.

Ezequias Souza Ribeiro, 27, went on the run Tuesday after executing a group of people who laughed at him when he lost around 4,000 reais (£640) playing at a bar in Sinop.

He died in confrontation with police on Wednesday after he was found in a wooded area about nine miles (15km) from the city of Cuiabá.

Military Police say he was shot and taken to a regional hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.

Edgar Ricardo de Oliveira surrendered earlier yesterday

His accomplice, 30-year-old Edgar Ricardo de Oliveira, also ran from police but surrendered himself on Thursday morning and confessed to the crimes.

Police moved quickly to recover the shotgun used in the massacre and the truck used to flee on Wednesday.

In the CCTV footage, Ezequias is seen approaching his targets with a pistol before Edgar walks in with the 12mm shotgun and starts shooting up the bar.

The pair are then seen to kill their captives at near-point-blank range.

According to police records, Oliveira had been arrested in the past for domestic violence. Souza meanwhile has a lengthy criminal record that includes arrests for illegal possession of a firearm, gang robbery, assault and threat.
