A magistrate of a court in Rio de Janeiro was stabbed to death by her ex-husband in front of the couple’s three daughters on Christmas Eve in the Fluminense capital, official sources confirmed this Friday.

“#That crime will not go unpunished. Femicide is vehemently repudiated by Brazilian society. Brazil needs to move forward. What happened this Thursday in Barra da Tijuca is absolutely unacceptable ”, said the president of AMAERJ, Felipe Gonçalves, in the note.
