A young woman four months pregnant was deliberately burned alive with a man in a car by a group allegedly including the father of her unborn child.
According to police investigations, the couple were alive when they were handcuffed, gasoline was poured on the car and the vehicle was set on fire on October 17 in a rural area of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The victims were identified by their family members as 24-year-old Ellen Priscila Ferreira da Silva and 39-year-old Ely Carlos dos Santos after they recognized the vehicle that belonged to Ellen’s mother.
Four suspects – three men, 19, 35 and 38, and one woman, 36 – were arrested.
Police officer in charge of the case, Paulo de Tarso, told the local media: “It was a deliberate and very cruel crime. One of the suspects even personally comforted the victim’s mother after her death was confirmed. “
Police say the 19-year-old man and woman confessed to the crime.
However, the other two men have denied their involvement.
Paulo de Tarso told the local media: “The victim was four months pregnant by one of the suspects who is married. His wife, who has confessed and is also pregnant, knew it. “
The police are investigating three possible motives: revenge, crimes of passion, and drug debt.
Paulo de Tarso: “Ellen and Ely Carlos were possibly indebted to a drug dealer who was also arrested. Another point is that Ellen refused to abort the child conceived in the extramarital relationship. “
The prime suspect is believed to be the 38-year-old husband and father of Ellen’s baby.
Despite the promise to Ellen’s family to settle accounts with the young woman’s killer, police found that the man’s car had driven to the scene, which raised suspicions of his involvement.
The man originally told police that he was also attacked on the day of the crime and pretended to faint to avoid being burned alive. However, it is said that he later confessed to making up the story and self-inflicting wounds under the effects of drugs.
The man knew the couple when they were on drugs together, he said.
Another teen suspected of being involved in the crime allegedly spilled gasoline on the victims along with the 19-year-old boy.
The investigation is still ongoing.
