The Incident and Arrest
The event took place in Ponta Grossa, located in the Campos Gerais region of Paraná. The gathering was intended to celebrate Weslley Massaki moving up in rank from 1st Lieutenant to Captain. According to the official police report, the couple initially disagreed on whether the party should take place.

Upon her return, the couple engaged in physical altercations driven by jealousy. They subsequently returned to their home, where the conflict continued in the garage.
Following an anonymous tip, authorities arrived at the scene. Massaki was arrested in flagrante delicto for the crime of domestic violence. The investigation is based on the couple's statements and the official police report.
