Feminicide is the murder of a woman for reasons linked to her condition as a woman, such as in cases of domestic violence or discrimination. The expected penalty is 20 to 40 years in prison and can increase in specific situations, such as when there are children present or the victim is pregnant. According to the State Department of Justice and Public Security (Sejusp), the man was admitted to the Prison System Relocation Center (Ceresp) in Juiz de Fora, where he remains imprisoned. According to the process, the suspect is represented by the Public Defender's Office, which does not comment on decisions. The case, which is under judicial secrecy, now goes to the Public Ministry of Minas Gerais (MPMG), which will evaluate whether or not to present the complaint. 'He made a lot of threats', says friend To TV Integração, a friend of Joyce, Fabiana Maria, stated that the couple had been together for around nine months. "He made a lot of threats. She was already trying to get out of that relationship, but he threatened her too much", he reported. Fabiana also mourned Joyce's death and demanded justice. "There is a lot of suffering for the family. She left behind a young son. Justice has to be done. There are many cases of violence against women, and no woman deserves to go through that", he concluded. Victim was found lifeless in apartment According to the PM, the victim was found on the mattress, already lifeless, in an apartment. The crime suspect was arrested at his mother's house, in the Bairu neighborhood. He told the police that he spent the night with Joyce and that the two consumed alcohol and drugs. At the time, they argued out of jealousy, motivated by suspicions of betrayal with the woman's ex-partner. In the middle of the fight, he strangled the victim. MORE
