A bar owner in Brazil trying to discover who was stealing liquor from his bar killed two customers after putting rat poison in a popular liquor. Bar owner Manoel da Paixao Goncalves told police he doctored three bottles of cachaca liquor to discover who was stealing the fiery drink from his bar. "Just a little bit," Goncalves was quoted as telling police, when they asked him how much rat poison he had put in the cachaca, Brazil's national drink that is made from sugar cane. Goncalves said he only wanted the rat poison to give the thieves stomachaches to turn them off the liquor. The bar owner, whose bar is in the center of the northeastern city of Salvador, could face 24 years in prison.
