PORTUGAL MOGUL FOUND DEAD WITH HIS D**K CUT OFF! HE F**KED WITH THE WRONG ONE!

A well-known journalist from Portugal was brutally beaten and mutilated inside a room of a posh Times Square hotel Friday, police sources said.

The naked body of Carlos Castro, 65, was found lying face-up in a pool of blood inside his 34th-floor room at the InterContinental New York Times Square on W. 44th St. about 7p.m., the sources said.

The prominent gay activist had been bludgeoned in the head and his scrotum cut off, sources said.

His suspected killer - Renato Seabra, a Portuguese male model who was staying with Castro at the InterContinental - was found hours later at Roosevelt Hospital in Midtown, the sources said.

Seabra, who was seen arguing with the journalist in the hours before the murder, went to the hospital for treatment for scrapes and cuts on his hands and his face.

But when a nurse saw the injuries and the police description of Seabra, she called 911.

The model was arrested a short time later and taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was undergoing a psychiatric evaluation Saturday morning, the NYPD sources said.

Monica Pires, a friend of the writer and producer, first grew concerned after she went to the swanky hotel Friday evening and could not reach Castro, sources said.

"We asked the front desk to call up to Carlos but he didn't respond," Pires told the Portuguese news agency Lusa. "So we tried his cell phone and nobody answered."

Just then, Pires and her mom saw the tall, chiseled Seabra walk through the lobby - and stop in a panic when he saw the worried women.

"We asked him about Carlos, and he looked panicked," a shaken Pires said.

"He never expected to see us in the lobby and he told us, 'Carlos isn't leaving the room,'" she said. "This answer surprised us and we told the hotel manager."

Pires screamed, which prompted the hotel staff to check room 3416, where they made the gruesome discovery. They quickly called 911.

Pires and her mom, who dined with Castro and Seabra the day before, gave a description of the male model to police, who searched hospitals throughout Manhattan and notified area airports to be on the lookout.

"They asked me what he was wearing, and how he looked - how his hair was, if he was clean, if he was on drugs," said Pires, who lives in New Jersey.

Castro and Seabra checked in together at the Intercontinental on Dec. 29. Pires' mother said Castro and Seabra seemed tense at dinner Thursday, and a couple staying in a room two doors down heard the two men arguing earlier in the day.

"There was a lot of noise, talking," said Suzanne Divilly, 40, who was celebrating her honeymoon in the city.

"You could hear them arguing in the corridor and even in our room," she said. "We didn't think anything of it, because it was none of our business."

Investigators believe the argument ended with Seabra grabbing a knife and slashing his partner's testicles, then repeatedly beating him with a piece of furniture, sources said.

Detectives think Seabra's wounds - including cuts to his wrists - were suffered during the struggle and were not a suicide attempt, sources said.

Cops believe the suspect hailed a cab shortly after encountering Pires in the lobby and told the driver to take him to the nearest hospital.

Castro, aside from his gay rights advocacy, has worked for several television and radio stations in Portugal during his career, according to a biography page on his website. The site also notes his work for several national modeling competitions.
