Suspect of attempted feminicide is arrested in Belém after luring ex-partner into ambush

The action, carried out by the Police Station to Combat Feminicide (Defem), took place in the Benguí neighborhood, where a search and seizure warrant was also executed at the suspect's residence.

The arrest warrant was issued by the 2nd Court of Domestic and Family Violence against Women of Belém, after investigations highlighted the seriousness of the crime, which occurred in August this year.

The crime took place in the early hours of August 20th. According to Civil Police investigations, the suspect planned an ambush to lure his ex-partner onto a public road in the Curió-Utinga neighborhood.

To get the victim to go to the location, the man pretended to deliver merchandise.

Upon arriving at the agreed point, the woman was surprised by the attacker and attacked with knife blows and beatings, while being threatened with death. Despite the violence of the attacks, she managed to escape and call for help.

After identifying the suspect and collecting evidence, the specialized police station represented the aggressor's preventive arrest. The man was located and approached by agents as he left his home in Benguí.

"We began the investigation into the crime and represented the court for the arrest of the suspect, which was granted. During the locating efforts, we managed to find him and approached him when he was leaving his residence, carrying out the arrest and carrying out the judicially authorized searches", explained delegate Adriany Carvalho, responsible for the case.

After capture, the suspect was taken to the police unit to comply with legal formalities. He underwent expert examinations and was sent to the Pará prison system, where he will remain in custody at the disposal of the Justice Department.
