Albino Santos de Lima was sentenced this Wednesday (4) to 27 years in prison for the death of José Cícero Bernardo da Silva. His sentences total 321 years.

During the trial, the defendant denied being responsible for the murder that occurred on December 8, 2019. He was eventually convicted of qualified homicide.

A ballistics examination showed that a 38-caliber revolver was used in the crime. The same weapon killed Genilda Maria da Conceição.

The man known as the "Maceió serial killer", Albino Santos de Lima, was sentenced to 27 years in prison this Wednesday (4) for the death of José Cícero Bernardo da Silva, aged 51. The trial took place at the 9th Criminal Court of the Capital. With the new conviction, Albino's sentences total 321 years in prison.

Albino became known as the "serial killer of Maceió" after being identified by the police as responsible for a series of murders committed in the capital of Alagoas between 2019 and 2024. According to investigations, he chose his victims, many of them women, and committed the crimes with firearms.

During this Wednesday's trial, Albino denied being responsible for the murder. He was convicted of qualified homicide for using a resource that made it difficult for the victim to defend himself.

The crime took place on December 8, 2019, around 6 pm, in the Jardim Petrópolis II complex, in the Chã da Jaqueira neighborhood, in the upper part of Maceió.

During the investigations, Albino confessed to the murder to the police, but later backtracked and denied responsibility in court.

Witnesses, however, pointed to the defendant as responsible for the crime.

A ballistics examination carried out by the Scientific Police identified that the projectiles that killed José Cícero were fired by a 38 caliber revolver.

According to investigations, the same weapon would have been used in the murder of Genilda Maria da Conceição, 71 years old, killed while taking her grandson to school, also in Chã da Jaqueira.

For this crime, Albino was sentenced to 22 years, five months and 15 days in prison.

Albino's next trial is scheduled for Monday (9), again at the 9th Criminal Court of the Capital.
