Woman denounces 20 years of violence and police seize rifle at ex-husband's farm in Roraima

The weapon was seized during the execution of a search and seizure warrant at Vicinal 27, in the Castanheira Settlement Project region. The action was carried out by the Specialized Police Station for Women's Assistance (Deam), with support from the General Homicide Police Station (DGH).

According to delegate Carla Gabriella Paulain, responsible for the investigation, the victim reported having suffered physical and psychological attacks throughout the relationship. She also stated that her ex-partner made death threats and used a firearm to intimidate her.

In October of this year, when she decided to permanently end the relationship, the victim was attacked with a metal bottle thrown at her by the suspect. The object hit her head. According to Deam, the man also tried to hit his ex and the couple's 16-year-old son with a vehicle.

In light of the complaints, the delegate requested a search and seizure warrant for the residence of the person being investigated. The objective was to locate possible firearms and ammunition that were in his possession.

"This action demonstrates the importance of women reporting when they feel, in some way, violated or cornered. It also reinforces the need for immediate action by the Civil Police in combating gender-based violence", highlighted the delegate.

The Civil Police reported that investigations continue to clarify the circumstances of the victim's reports and determine the responsibility of the person being investigated.

The corporation also reinforced the importance of reporting cases of domestic violence. Women who suffer attacks or threats can contact the Civil Police to register the incident and ask for help.
