SAO PAULO, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- A worker stabbed three co-workers to death Saturday at a Bombril factory in Sao Bernardo do Campo, in Brazil's Sao Paulo state, before dying by suicide in police custody, authorities said.

The suspect was identified as 33-year-old Claudio Henrique da Silva, a forklift operator employed by a subcontractor at the cleaning products factory.
