Sao Paulo - Gunmen shot and killed a Brazilian seamstress and her two children, one a 17-month-old girl, while the father, Mr Jaco Batista, a fugitive convicted on drug-trafficking charges, hid in a closet, police said yesterday.
Four men burst into a house in Sao Paulo looking for the father and took revenge on the family when they could not find him, a civil police spokesman said.
