Samir was charged by the São Paulo Public Ministry (MP-SP) with feminicide and attempted qualified homicide against his daughter. The jury is scheduled to start at 9:30 am, at the Santos Forum.
According to an investigation by TV Tribuna, a Globo affiliate, 14 witnesses must be heard, including police officers and professionals from the clinic who witnessed the crime. The trial is expected to last at least two days.
In a note, the MP-SP stated that the murder was carried out in the context of domestic and family violence, due to the condition of the female sex, with cruel means, through concealment, a resource that made the victim's defense difficult, common danger and the use of a restricted-use firearm.
In relation to the daughter, the agency's accusation is attempted qualified homicide due to common danger, concealment, difficulty in defense and use of a restricted firearm.

Victim's son
The victim's son, Davi Fernandes Costa Carvalho, said that Samir was aggressive and had already made several threats to the family. He wants the man to be condemned and never come near him again.
"I don't want to have contact, I don't want him to get close to me, the little ones, my family. For him to pay and then go live his normal life, but for it to be far away from us", said Davi, in an interview with TV Tribuna, a Globo affiliate.
g1 contacted the firm Oliveira Campanini Advogados, responsible for his defense, but did not receive a response until the last update of this report.
Necroscopic report
The victim's autopsy report indicates that most of the stab wounds hit the right side of Amanda's body, with blows from the thigh to the face. The document also points out that the shots were fired from a distance.
The coroner responsible for the document concluded that Amanda suffered a "violent death, resulting from acute anemia due to traumatic internal bleeding, as a result of the injuries" caused by the gunshots and stab wounds.
