A pregnant mum suffocated her son, 7, with a plastic bag in front of her other two kids, aged 2 and 6, because he was being too naughty.

The grim find was made on the property, which is located in the municipality of Serra, in the south-eastern Brazilian state of Espirito Santo, on Sunday, 6th March.

Drielli, who is eight months pregnant, was found walking around her neighbourhood shortly after the body was found and she was arrested on the spot.

It transpired she had two prior run-ins with the law, for abuse and threatening behaviour respectively.

She has been charged with aggravated homicide, concealment of a corpse and possession of narcotics for her own consumption, as drugs – reportedly cocaine – were found in her bag.

She told the police she killed her son because he was rebellious. She had allegedly planned to get rid of the body and flee, but was caught before she could put the plan into action.

Drielli is reported to have five children, not all of whom live with her, and Gabriel was one of three who was with her at the time.

His father is reportedly serving time at a prison in the southern state of Parana.

One of her ex-boyfriends, who was not named, said he had already reported her to the Child Services and claimed she was very aggressive and had tried to kill him.

He said he made the complaint because she had also allegedly tried to kill her own children.
