Kaique

Kaique Batista dos Santos, 16, had all his teeth pulled out with pliers and was battered to death by a gang of skinheads.

His body was found in Sao Paulo, Brazil, just a mile from the city's new 65,000 seater stadium which hosts the first match on June 12 Kaique's sister Tayna said: "These thugs enjoy beating and torturing and taking the lives of homosexuals.

Just entering his teens, Reginaldo (Kaique de Jesus Santos), who unlike his half-brothers is black, is both the most precocious and unruly of the bunch; he's also obsessed with finding his father, whom he believes to be a bus driver, which leads him to spend considerable time riding buses and hanging around stations.
