Quick Summary
The Civil Police arrested a man on Tuesday, January 7, in Avaré, São Paulo, suspected of burning the body of a 62-year-old woman. The incident occurred on December 12 in the Jardim Paraíso neighborhood. Initially, the case was investigated as a domestic accident, but medical staff at a hospital in Bauru became suspicious due to the severity and characteristics of the woman's burns.
During the police report, authorities found inconsistencies in the versions provided by the victim and the suspect. The woman reported suffering threats and assaults from the man, with whom she had a romantic relationship. The suspect, who had a criminal record involving domestic violence, was located in the Jardim Martins area and taken to the Police Station. The case is now registered as domestic violence and is being investigated by the Women's Defense Department (DDM).
Initial Investigation and Medical Suspicion
The investigation began following a report of a domestic accident on December 12. A 62-year-old woman was admitted to a hospital in Bauru with severe burns. According to the Civil Police, the initial report suggested an accident had occurred within the home. However, the medical team attending to the victim raised alarms regarding the nature of the injuries.
Doctors noted that the severity of the burns and the specific characteristics of the lesions did not align with typical accident scenarios. This medical assessment prompted a deeper inquiry by the authorities. The discrepancy between the reported accident and the physical evidence found on the victim led investigators to re-evaluate the circumstances surrounding the event.
Inconsistencies and Arrest
As authorities elaborated the police report, significant inconsistencies were identified in the statements provided by both the victim and the suspect. The woman eventually revealed that she had been a victim of threats and assaults by the man she was in a romantic relationship with. These revelations contradicted the initial narrative of an accidental injury.
The suspect was located in the Jardim Martins area and subsequently taken to the Police Station. At the time of his arrest, the man already possessed a criminal record. The police confirmed that his history included previous occurrences related to domestic violence. Based on the evidence and the victim's testimony, the suspect was taken into custody.
