According to the TAJ (Santa Catarina Court), the prosecutor’s office expressed a desire to temporarily release the suspect with a preventive measure, and the judge on duty granted the request.

Argument

People watching the incident reported to the police that the fight began in a nightclub after the wife of the victim and her friend got into a fight with another woman.

According to civilian police, no weapons were found in the victim’s car.

The nightclub owner, who asked not to be named, told ND+ that the security guard involved in the incident was from an outside company and dismissed the incident as an accident.

“It was fatal, unfortunately. The man was very upset, threatened everyone, asked the names of everyone who was there. There was a moment when he said that he was going to take a gun into the car and went towards her when a security guard approached him. When approaching, there was a fall, we believe that there was a fracture, ”he explained.

Investigation

An investigation was launched into the case. According to the delegate, the cadaveric examination had already indicated the cause of death. “It was mechanical asphyxia due to narrowing of the neck in the form of strangulation, the famous strangulation from behind,” he said.

However, according to Giraldo, the testimony indicated that the guard went to restrain the man with a blow after he said he would look in the car for a gun. During immobilization, they would fall, which would lead to death.
