The case was registered by the Civil Police as a homicide. The use of cerol has been prohibited in the State of São Paulo since 2019. No suspects were identified until the last update of this report.

MORE Line of wax that killed a motorcyclist in Santa Adélia (SP) João Selare/TV TEM Fábio was on a motorbike when he was hit by a kite line filled with wax. According to the police report, he did not realize he was hit and died at the scene. As it is a rural area, the region does not have security cameras that could have recorded the moment the teacher was hit. A friend of Fábio, commercial representative Ericson Paulucci says that in messages shared in WhatsApp groups, motorcyclists even warned about the risk of accidents on the track due to kites. "What we know is that a motorcyclist passed by, saw a line, but not on the track. He told the motorcyclist behind that he had one, but he only warned by sign that there were people flying kites. But Fábio was in third, he was a very long distance away from them. Certainly, when Fábio passed, he was on the line." Fábio José Colombo died after being hit in the neck by a wax line in Santa Adélia (SP) Personal archive Line with wax is a crime Rural producer Carlos Roberto Pichutte states that it is common for people in the area to fly kites with wax line. "Saturday and Sunday are worse. On holidays around 2pm the rollercoaster starts. There are 20 or 30 people here, a car in here and they don't respect anyone. The other day he got tangled up with a guy too, he got tangled up in my car. I went to the city and that's where I found the line in the car", he says. The legislation of the state of São Paulo prohibits the use, possession, manufacture and sale of cutting lines, such as cerol and Chilean line, due to the risk of serious and fatal accidents, mainly involving motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians. "You can't even say it was an accident, right? Because wax line is unacceptable these days. A brutal death", says Paulucci.
