A resident of the neighborhood recorded a video of the victim, who reported what happened while he was lying on the ground and covered in blood. "She was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and many men visited her house. But in this specific case, it was he who confessed and she spoke herself in this video", said the delegate. Arrest for another crime The case began to be formally investigated on Sunday (12) when the victim's mother filed a police report shortly after her daughter's death. The Civil Police of Amapá represented the preventive arrest of the suspect, but, even before the court decision, he was arrested in the act by the Military Police the following day (13) for committing a crime of robbery. When questioned by the femicide investigation team at the local forum, the man showed coldness, showed no regret and revealed that he didn't even know that his partner had died.

Delegate Marina Guimarães reinforced the importance of witnesses and victims seeking an active role and reporting cases of domestic violence immediately, before they escalate to more serious crimes. "I want to highlight the importance of people reporting these crimes precisely to prevent the worst of them from happening, which is femicide — at which point the victim can no longer seek help. We also ask the population, when they witness this type of situation, to immediately call 190, even anonymously. In this specific case, the victim was left at the scene bleeding. If someone had reported it before, perhaps she would be alive today," he declared. Cases of violence or suspected aggression can be reported anonymously to the Military Police via the emergency number 190, or directly to the Civil Police, which offers reception channels and urgent protective measures.
