A man has wasted the life of his friend in a very unusual circumstance after he had a vision that the man was having an affair with his wife.

victim: Unais Gomes

 

A man stabbed his friend to death in the Peruvian Amazon after they both took a powerful hallucinogenic drug. Dailymail reports that the man stabbed his friend after having a vision that his friend had an affair with his wife. The victim was a British tourist named Unais Gomes, a former Goldman Sachs worker. He was killed by Joshua Stevens aged 29 years.

 

According to police report, the pair had been taking part in a traditional ayahuasca ceremony near the jungle city of Iquitos on Wednesday. Pictures of the aftermath show a bare-chested Mr Stevens spattered in blood. A large knife can be seen on the floor and the body of a man slumped at the entrance of a wooden hut.

Amazonian tribes make ayahuasca by boiling two plants – the ayahuasca vine and the chacruna shrub, which contains the natural hallucinogen dimethyltryptamine – an illegal drug in the UK. By purging toxins from the body through vomiting, diarrhoea, yawning, crying, shaking and sweating, it is believed the brew has healing qualities and users are said to experience a spiritual awakening.

 

Its use among tourists in Peru has surged, with dozens of jungle retreats now offering it under the supervision of a guide or shaman. Many travelers believe it will help ease depression and other mental health issues.

 

Mr Gomes and Mr Stevens were on a ten-day, £800 stay the Phoenix Ayahuasca retreat when the tragedy occurred. Guests at the retreat, run by Australian brother and sister Mark and Tracie Thornberry, take part in meditation, ‘relaxing floral baths’ and the ayahuasca ceremony.

 

The siblings claim ayahuasca is a ‘purgative’ which ‘removes spiritual and emotional blockages’. Photographs on the retreat’s Facebook page show guests covered in mud, swimming, and relaxing in wooden huts and tents. Some reports confirmed Mr Stevens had started the attack after hallucinating about his wife having an affair with Mr Gomes.

 

However, a police source said the Briton tried to stab Mr Stevens with a knife from a kitchen area. As the pair wrestled, the Canadian grabbed the blade and stabbed Mr Gomes in the chest and stomach.

 

Mr Stevens was in police custody last night. Police chief Normando Marques said: ‘It might be folkloric, spiritual or whatever else, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a drug that dramatically alters your state of mind.’

 

Economics graduate Mr Gomes had held posts in research and sales at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup and lived in St John’s Wood, north London before moving to San Francisco 18 months ago. His LinkedIn page described him as an entrepreneur in the field of clean technology.
