His father, the American missionary D'Andre Jermaine Grayson, has been in pre-trial detention since July 5th. The mother was arrested preventively on July 9th. The victim's four brothers remain in a shelter. D'Andre confessed to hitting his son because the child didn't say "good morning" to him. The man's defense had asked for permission for him to participate in the farewell ceremony, but the court denied his father's participation in the funeral due to security risks. In a statement, lawyers Ismael Schmitt and Jader Santos, who represent D'Andre, stated that the defense "respects and understands the grounds used by the Magistrate". The text also says that defenders welcome the decision that will allow the mother to be reunited with the children, who were taken to a shelter, with relief. The Civil Police are investigating whether the mother was negligent or participated in the attacks, in addition to investigating possible failures in the child protection network. The investigation is expected to be completed in early August. The court ordered that Oliver's mother be escorted out of prison to recognize her son's body. Mayanna's transfer from the Guaíba State Women's Penitentiary to the DML was authorized after the state Public Prosecutor's Office (MPRS) informed the Judiciary that all necessary examinations had already been completed, with no further legal impediments to the delivery of the body to the family. Mayanna's defense informed that the DML has already recognized Oliver through papiloscopy, a method that identifies individuals through fingerprints, palm or plantar prints. Previously, the management of the prison where she was held had denied the inmate's extraordinary release, on the grounds that the great repercussion of the case created risks to her physical integrity and that of the escort agents. At the time, Mayanna's defense criticized the measure, classifying it as an "anticipated punishment". To date, 11 witnesses have been interviewed by the investigation and the investigation is expected to conclude in August. Delegate Luana Medeiros, responsible for the investigation, stated that parents advised their children to hide the injuries. According to the police, the children would wear long clothes and would be instructed to invent stories to justify the marks on their bodies. The police also analyzed the structure of the family's residence. The place is a small wooden house, without doors, where the rooms were divided only by cloth. The investigation investigates the mother's conduct and assesses, through psychic examinations that will still be carried out on the children, whether she was silent in relation to the death and attacks or whether she also carried out torture. In a separate investigation, the Civil Police is investigating signs that Mayanna suffered physical and psychological violence from her husband. The civil police of Santa Catarina and São Paulo sent copies of incidents that indicate signs of mistreatment committed by the family in these states between 2024 and 2025. The Federal Police (PF) and Interpol were also called to check the foreigners' background and the family's legal status in Brazil. The police are investigating possible failures in the protection network in Viamão, where the family lived, to clarify what measures were adopted in response to signs of mistreatment.
