"He fell into some contradictions when he stated that he spent the night at a friend's house, in the Colibris neighborhood, and went straight home, and did not stop at any bar, and that there was no alcohol. After he made this statement, he fell into contradiction, because we showed him a video, where he went, that morning, at the same time that the accident occurred, where the victim was also at the scene", stated the delegate.

The suspect, however, stated that he did not consume alcohol at the scene. Still during his testimony, Marcos Afrânio Garcez stated that he did not know Erick Araújo and that he had never had any contact with the victim. When explaining the collision, the suspect told the Civil Police that he believed he had hit an animal, not a person. "He said that, at the time of the collision, he did not imagine that he had hit a person, but rather an animal. This differs from the conditions in which the car was found, because the windshield was broken. What animal would this be capable of breaking the windshield? Probably, a part of the victim's body hit the glass and caused the damage," said the delegate. According to police chief Getúlio Machado, the car driven by Marcos was taken to a workshop after the collision. The delegate informed that he ordered that the vehicle be sent to the Police Center to undergo forensic examination. According to the suspect, no repairs had been carried out on the car to date.
