Per his wishes, the ashes of Portuguese journalist Carlos Castro—who was apparently murdered by his very disturbed 20-year-old model lover—were scattered in a Times Square subway grate. In true New York fashion, it was probably illegal.

More details have surfaced about the gruesome murder of Portuguese journalist Carlos Castro in Times Square last week.

Renato Seabra, a 20 year-old male model, has confessed to attacking, castrating, and killing Portugese fashion journalist Carlos Castro (pictured) in a Times Square hotel room Saturday night. Seabra is apparently very, very disturbed.

The body of 65-year-old Portuguese journalist Carlos Castro was found yesterday in a Times Square InterContinental Hotel room "bludgeoned in the head and his scrotum cut off." Police are questioning Castro's male model companion, "twentysomething" Renato Seabra. [NYDN; image]
