The Itajaí military police on the north coast of Santa Catarina answered a strange call about an attempted murder on the night of this Tuesday (11), the garrison was provoked around 23:15 on the Jorge Lacerda highway in the Espineiros region.

On the spot, the police spoke to the victim, a 38-year-old man, who said that he had lived with another boy and his mother on a farm for 15 days and that they had been drinking beer on Tuesday evening, and the man began to believe that he heard voices saying that he will have to kill him.

However, according to the victim, at that moment the suspect took a knife and attacked him with the intent to kill him. The victim said that in order to protect himself, he put out his hand and ended up hurting himself, at which point he ran away in fear that the worst would happen.

In a conversation with a 35-year-old suspect, he denied that he had tried to kill the victim. He said they drank alcohol throughout the day and argued that he was acting in self-defense and that he was blamed by the man who used the knife.

When the garrison arrived, the victim was waiting for the car at a gas station, as he left the residence, fearing that something worse might happen. He said that the alleged aggressor remained at the residence, but the garrison saw the man wandering near the post where the victim was.

In view of this, an individual approached the voice, having a strong smell of alcohol and at different times “staggering”, unable to stand still.

When asked about the knife, the suspect said that it was in his house. Then a voice was given about the arrest, the man was handcuffed and first taken to his dwelling to identify the object of the crime, which was identified by the victim.

After clarification of the circumstances, both were sent to the Itajai Civil Police Station for investigation.
