BRASILIA (Reuters) - A Brazilian fugitive accused of murdering a family was shot dead on Monday, ending a 20-day manhunt with troops, dogs and helicopters in farm country outside Brasilia, where rural families lived for weeks in fear.
Lazaro Barbosa, who fled jail after a previous murder conviction, was suspected of killing a father and his two sons in early June and kidnapping their mother, whose body was found days later in the countryside.
