Sergeant who killed his wife with 51 stab wounds and shot his daughter in a clinic is sentenced to 123 years in prison

Amanda Fernandes Carvalho, 42 years old, was murdered by her husband with three shots and 51 stab wounds inside a clinic in the Marapé neighborhood, in May 2025. The couple's daughter, who was 10 years old at the time, was also shot, but survived after being hospitalized for six days. The police officer was arrested red-handed.

Samir was charged by the São Paulo Public Ministry (MP-SP) with feminicide and attempted qualified homicide against his daughter. The trial began on Wednesday (14) and ended on Thursday night (15).

On the first day, 12 witnesses were heard, five for the prosecution and seven for the defense. This Thursday (15), it was the defendant's turn to testify. However, he stated that he did not remember the day of the crime.

Then, the prosecution and defense representatives presented their theses to the jurors. The debates lasted more than five hours until the sentence was reached at around 9pm this Thursday (15).

Lawyer João Carlos Campanini, who represents Samir, stated that he intends to appeal against the sentence. "The defense still hopes to appeal for this jury to be annulled, so that he has a new chance to prove that he did not have adequate mental faculties, and he did not want this result, that is, he did not have his free and conscious will, he did not have the intention of the conduct", he stated.

In a note released before the jury, the MP-SP informed that it maintains that the murder occurred in the context of domestic and family violence, for reasons of the female sex, with the use of cruel means, through dissimulation, a resource that made the victim's defense difficult, common danger and the use of a restricted firearm.

In relation to his daughter, the Public Prosecutor's Office accuses Samir of attempted murder due to common danger, concealment, difficulty in defending the victim and use of a restricted firearm.

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 never come close again.

"I don't want to have contact, I don't want him to get close to me, the little ones, my family," said Davi, in an interview with TV Tribuna, a Globo affiliate.

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.
