Couple arrested after performing fatal liposuction in basement?
FRAMINGHAM, Massachusetts (AP) — A couple who authorities say performed liposuction in the basement of a home has been charged with practicing medicine without a license after the female patient died.
Luiz Carlos Ribeiro, 49, a native of Brazil, and his wife, Ana Maria Miranda Ribeiro, also 49, were arraigned in district court on Monday following the death of a 24-year-old woman Sunday.
The Ribeiros pleaded not guilty. Ribeiro was ordered held on $250,000 cash bail. His wife was held on $50,000 cash bail. Both were ordered to surrender their passports.
Is there some kind of underground economy in black-market liposuction these days?
