"They saw each other often. They lived close by, it was in the same neighborhood, a matter of three blocks or so apart, and it wasn't uncommon for her to go to his house. She went, I'm not saying every day, but eventually she went there, even after this separation with her mother", explains delegate Dieli Caumo, responsible for the case. The police treat the crime as feminicide. As there is no record of threats or violence from the investigated person against the ex's family, the crime of vicaricide is ruled out. "With the testimonies of the witnesses, sisters, mother, and the suspect himself, we came to the conclusion that there was no conflict between the family. There was no protective measure, there was no incident, she did not report any type of violence or threat. In fact, he said he had nothing in relation to his ex-partner. The death was not to punish his ex-partner", says the delegate. ? Vicaricide: The crime, included in the Penal Code in April, typifies the action of killing someone close to a woman with the aim of causing punishment, suffering or control to her. In a statement to the police, however, Wagno reportedly said that the motivation for the crime would be a conflict between the two [him and the teenager], the circumstances of which are being investigated. The man was preventively arrested on Tuesday night (18) in his own home, located in the Jardim do Trabalhador neighborhood, the same place where the crime took place.
