The death of doctor Elyne de Assis Nogueira, aged 39, shot dead in Brasiléia, in the interior of Acre, has provoked demands for justice inside and outside the state. On Friday (13), Acre writer Glória Perez, actress Leona Cavalli and the victim's family demanded justice for the crime on social media.
The repercussion occurs amid new developments in the investigation. A court decision indicates that the death had begun to be planned at least two months before the execution, which took place on November 2. On social media, internet users mobilized with the hashtag #JustiçaPorElyne.
👉 Context: Elyne was celebrating the holiday at a gastrobar with friends, when she was shot, on November 2nd. The attorney for the municipality of Brasiléia, former councilor and lawyer Francisco Valadares Neto is suspected of having the doctor killed. The victim had two protective measures against Francisco, who is her ex-boyfriend and wore an electronic ankle bracelet. The suspect remains in prison since the crime.
Glória Perez's demonstration was published on Instagram. The writer shared a card with the doctor's image and highlighted that Elyne had resorted to women's protection laws before being murdered. According to investigations, the crime had been ordered by Valadares, for R$40,000.
"Elyne asked for help from the women's protection laws and was not answered. Her life cost 40 thousand reais, paid to the executor by her ex-partner. How long will we see outcomes like this?", asked the writer from Acre.
Still in the publication, Glória left a message of solidarity with the family and demanded punishment for the person suspected of being the person responsible for the murder. "I extend my hug of solidarity to Elyne's family. And may justice be done, may the laws that ignored her before be harsh in punishing the person who ordered it," he said.
The writer's statement also draws attention due to the personal story she carries. Glória Perez is the mother of actress Daniella Perez, murdered in 1992 by actor Guilherme de Pádua, in a crime that was not classified as femicide because, at the time, the term did not exist.
Also on Friday, actress Leona Cavalli sent a video to Acre journalist Altino Machado's Blog, in which she expressed support for Elyne's family and demonstrated her indignation at cases of violence against women in Brazil.
The actress highlighted her emotional connection with Acre and said that the events in the state affect her directly. "I have many friends in Acre, I love Acre culture. So, everything that happens in this state, in Rio Branco, touches me deeply", he stated.
Leona also recalled that she participated in the launch of the Pact against Brazilian Feminicide campaign and classified the numbers of violence against women in the country as frightening. Last year, the state of Acre had the deadliest year of this decade for women.
"It is not possible for us to have so many feminicide crimes in Brazil, in this place and in so many others. I leave here my indignation and my support for the family for this terrible case that occurred. I really hope there are consequences and that there is justice", he concluded.
Amid the repercussion of the case, Elyne's family reinforces that they hope for clarification of all the circumstances of the murder and for everyone involved to be held accountable. The doctor's cousin, Maria Eduarda Wolter Barros, stated that the family wants the justice system to act without privileges.
"What we hope most is that justice will be done, that all the circumstances of the crime will be clarified and that everyone involved will be held accountable, without privileges or favoritism. Unfortunately, nothing will bring her back, but we can fight for justice for all women", he says.
The cousin also highlighted the family's emotion when realizing that people from different places, including those who never met Elyne, are mobilizing to demand justice. "It's something that moves us deeply and has enormous meaning for our family," he said.
According to her, the mobilization demonstrates that the fight for justice went beyond the family circle and also began to represent a collective demand against gender-based violence and impunity.
Wolter described Elyne as loving, sweet, humble and very close to her family. According to her niece, the doctor showed affection in small gestures and was always concerned about those close to her.
"Elyne was very loving, sweet and had a huge heart. She was present, careful and showed her affection in small gestures. Very humble, she had a special way of treating people and was always worried about those she loved", he said.
According to a decision by judge José Leite de Paula Neto, from the Brasiléia Criminal Court, it is clear that the doctor's murder had begun to be planned at least two months before the execution. According to the judge, the elements gathered in the process indicate the planning of the crime.
Still according to the decision, the judge highlighted that, while the defendant's defense requested judicial authorizations for health treatments, including outside Acre, the doctor's murder was supposedly already being articulated.
The records in the document also analyzed defense requests for Francisco to be transferred to a private psychiatric clinic in João Pessoa, Paraíba, where his mother lives, or to remain in a single room at Hospital Santa Juliana, in Rio Branco.
However, the judge ordered that he remain in the Francisco de Oliveira Conde Penitentiary Complex (FOC), in the capital of Acre, where he must receive medical care. The suspect has already been hospitalized twice after the murder, where he allegedly ingested a large amount of medication.
