A wealthy Brazilian doctor who had been dumped at the altar was arrested last Tuesday after allegedly hiring a gang to get revenge on her former fiancé 12 years ago.

The appropriately named Myriam Pricilla Castro, ordered a castration on her former flame and apparently also ordered the gangsters to crash his car and burn down his house.

Her alleged accomplice was her 76-year-old father, who helped her contact the gangsters in the southeastern city of Juiz de Fora.

The 34-year-old was eventually caught by police and arrested, but absconded bail and made a run for it. She managed to remain in hiding even after being sentenced to six years in prison in 2009.

Since then, Castro moved south to Sao Paulo, where she opened up a clinic and apparently finally found true love. She tied the knot with a new hubby in 2012 and has reportedly been travelling the globe, spending numerous vacations abroad.

Her near half-decade on the lam came to an end, however, last week, when she was arrested on her way to work and quickly thrown in jail.

Her lawyer, a man, claims that Castro is innocent, adding that she is planning to appeal.
