Francisco (died 28 April 1876) was the last person who was executed by Brazil. A black slave, he was hanged for the murder of his masters.
In 1874, Francisco and two other slaves, Prudencio and Vicente, were arrested for having beat to death their masters, João Evangelista de Lima and his wife Josepha Marta de Lima. The crime was committed in Pilar, Alagoas. Francisco and Prudencio fled to Pesqueira; in a confrontation with police, Prudencio was killed and Francisco was captured. Vicente had fled to Marechal Deodoro, where he was captured.
At Francisco and Vicente's trial, they were both found guilty of the murders. Francisco was sentenced to death by hanging and Vicente was sentenced to life imprisonment. Both appealed to Emperor Dom Pedro II for clemency; Francisco's appeal was denied and the emperor did not respond to Vicente's. Vicente later died in prison.
