According to the delegate Andre Milanese in charge of the case, the victim was to be strangled and then set on fire. The motive for the crime is still unclear.

The attention of the investigators was drawn by the fact that two men with serious injuries were found this Wednesday in a vacant lot in the Teresa Cristina area. They are 31 and 35 years old.

According to the Military Police, the duo said they were using drugs at the scene when several men arrived and started beating them with batons. They were found with broken arms and legs.

Also, according to two, the attackers said they were divided into factions and reported that they were being beaten because they had killed and set fire to a homeless woman.

According to police, they were rescued and taken to a San Jose hospital for surgery. They denied that they had killed the woman. The delegate told ND+ that the civilian police were still checking the information.
