He was a man who didn't hurt anyone. He was a Christian, took care of his family and was on his way to buy coffee powder when the incident happened", lamented Kennedy Tarden, his son-in-law. According to the Military Police (PM) report, recorded as 'dangerous driving of a vehicle', the 22-year-old motorcyclist was speeding, reared the motorcycle and ran a red light. He also tried to flee the scene of the accident, but was restrained by members of the public. The motorcycle was seized for being unlicensed. “Still, he was released,” asked Kennedy. According to the Civil Police, the driver was interviewed and released due to 'lack of sufficient elements to arrest him in the act'. The case remains under investigation at the Muriaé Police Station. g1 contacted the corporation to find out if the classification of the crime will be changed after the elderly man's death, but did not receive a response until the last update of this report.
