According to the Civil Police, during an inspection of the suspect's store on the day of the incident, the agents found a computer open in a messaging application conversation with a military police officer. The equipment also contained a record of an eight-minute call made after the crime.

According to delegate Bruno Abreu, responsible for the investigation, the soldier would have contacted the suspect shortly after learning of the crime and only contacted his superiors a few hours later.

"When we entered the location, we saw conversations with a military police officer and identified that, at around 10:40 am, this police officer became aware of the crime. He immediately contacted the suspect and spent approximately eight minutes on the phone", stated the delegate. This Monday (17), the police officers returned to the establishment to collect the computer and send it for examination. However, when they arrived at the scene, they found the store broken into and the equipment had been taken.

The crime

According to the Military Police, Ana Cristina's son, just 3 years old, was in the house at the time his mother was shot and was found alone at the scene.

According to the Military Police report, Ana Cristina's sister informed the victim's ex-partner that a shot had taken place in the house. Upon arriving at the address, he was greeted by his 3-year-old son, who handed him the gate keys.

Inside the house, the man found Ana Cristina lying on the floor, bleeding heavily from her head and face. He put her in his arms and, with the help of a neighbor and the young woman's brother, took her to the Cuiabá Municipal Hospital (HMC). Subsequently, the young woman's death was confirmed.

Residents told police that the victim and her boyfriend argued during the night. At around 6:30 am, neighbors heard a noise similar to a gunshot and, shortly afterwards, saw the suspect leaving the house on a black motorcycle.

According to the delegate, the relationship between Ana Cristina and the suspect had started about two weeks ago. The police received information that the two were in conflict and that the young woman intended to resume her relationship with her ex-partner.
