Femicide in São José The 28-year-old man arrested for killing Nilséia Aparecida de Carvalho da Luz, aged 55, was charged by the Public Ministry of Santa Catarina (MPSC) with feminicide. The murder occurred on June 27 in São José, in Greater Florianópolis, when he broke into his then-girlfriend's apartment with a fire extinguisher and beat her to death. ? When the Public Prosecutor's Office reports someone, it means that the institution formalized a criminal accusation in court against that person after completing the investigation phase and understanding that there is sufficient evidence that the then suspect is the perpetrator of the crime. The fact that the MP reports it does not mean that the person has already been convicted or is guilty. It is up to a judge to assess whether to accept the complaint and make the person under investigation a defendant, or reject it upon understanding that there is a lack of evidence. The complaint was made last week by the 12th Public Prosecutor's Office. g1 contacted the Court of Justice (TJSC) to find out if the complaint was accepted and was awaiting a response until the last update of this report. The MP also requested that the man be put on trial by the Jury Court. The process is being conducted in secrecy and the reporter did not have access to his defense. ?Click and follow the g1 SC channel on WhatsApp Man breaks into apartment with fire extinguisher and kills girlfriend Discover the reporting and support channels for women victims of violence Nilséia Aparecida de Carvalho da Luz was 55 years old Social networks/Reproduction Attacks 'repeated and extremely violent' On the night of the crime, the man went to the building where Nilséia lived, in the Potecas neighborhood, and broke down the front door of the apartment.
