Photo updated with image software by Miguel Nogueira da Silva and image from when the boy was 3 years old Disclosure/Civil Police The crime Regiane was 26 years old when she was killed by Ivan inside the house where the two lived with their son, in Jardim Jóquei Clube, North Zone of Ribeirão Preto. The crime took place on May 15, 2022. The manicurist was found by her father-in-law, on the living room floor, with bruises on her neck, caused by choking. In her left hand, Regiane held a kitchen knife, which was seized. Ivan's father was a neighbor of the couple. He told police that he went to the residence because he heard noises in the property. The family car was not in the garage and Ivan and the child were missing. The vehicle was found five days after the crime, abandoned in the middle of a sugarcane field, in the rural area of ??Barrinha (SP). Ivan and his son were never seen again. Trial In March 2024, the jury tried and convicted Ivan of Regiane's death even though he did not attend the trial. ?For the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), the failure of an accused to appear at trial is an extension of the right to silence and, for this reason, the session can take place regardless of the presence of the defendant. The defense read to the jurors a letter in which Ivan explained himself to his parents, saying that he was 'hateful of the victim' and 'regretful of the crime'. "We started fighting with each other and I attacked her. I think I was blinded by so much hatred, I didn't realize what I was doing. I never wanted to kill my son's mother. Wow, dad, I feel such great regret, because my intention was not to kill her at all", he said in part. In a letter, Ivan Nogueira tells his parents that he killed Regiane Carneiro de Moura Silva in Ribeirão Preto (SP) says he 'didn't want to run away' Reproduction/Personal archive See more news from the region on g1 Ribeirão Preto and Franca VIDEOS: Everything about Ribeirão Preto, Franca and the region
