Bathhouses and a new ‘boyfriend’: Inside the last days of NYC art dealer murdered in Brazil after secret life revealed
The New York Post ^ | 02/06/2024 | Isabel Vincent

In the days before he was brutally stabbed to death at his home in Rio de Janeiro last month, Manhattan art dealer Brent Sikkema had fallen madly in love with a younger man, The Post has learned.

The revelation was included in a Rio Civil Police filing obtained by The Post.

“In the passenger seat of the car, Brent spoke on a video chat with a man who spoke halting English,” reads the report, which summarizes the witness statement of Luiz Otavio Martins, Sikkema’s longtime driver in Rio. “The driver could see the young man on the video call. He was dark skinned and very handsome, and Brent told him ‘I love you’ in English.”

During what would be his last conversation with Martins, Brent told his driver that he was going on a date, the report reads, adding that Brent regularly frequented Rio bath houses to pick up young male prostitutes.

“He preferred them young,” said the Rio police report. “The driver told Brent not to bring prostitutes to his apartment because it was too dangerous. Brent told the driver that he had met a guy before Christmas and was madly in love.”*** On Jan. 15, five days after the conversation overheard by his driver, Sikkema was found dead in the bedroom of his tony rowhouse with multiple stab wounds to his throat and chest.

...Brent regularly frequented Rio bath houses to pick up young male prostitutes.

You think he would have learned that such practices are DANGEROUS.

“He preferred them young,” said the Rio police report.

I think i just threw up a little.

ALL homosexuals prefer them young!

That is the primary goal of the LGTB agenda. To legalize adult/child sex everywhere in the world.

Oddly enough, that’s what they said about Bill Clinton too!!!

Fundamental Darwinian fact: Homosexuals die young from a wide variety of causes. Disease, suicide and homicide being the leading causes.

"The Sikkemas were involved in a nearly two-year divorce action in New York State Supreme Court before Brent’s death."

Since the suspect knew both men...I'm thinking the husband hired the younger prostitute to knock the older guy off.

The deceased friends are not taking solace that Brent died doing what he loved? So very sad that this stuff gets promoted.
Sodom and Gomorrah Theme Park is looking like the next thing Disney might build? I wonder what the host cities would bid in tax relief and other giveaways.

“Sex”. The murder was due to promiscuous sex. Not a date. It was a gay hook-up and he paid the price.
