The crime of murder took place in September 2022, when the victim, who worked in a butcher shop, had an argument with a work colleague. Later, two men surprised the victim, who was stabbed. The worker could not stand it and died from a knife wound.

After committing the crime, a couple of suspects fled the state of Sergipe, one of whom ended up in Garuvu.

After requesting support from Sergipe’s DHPP (Department for the Investigation of Homicide and Personal Protection), the Santa Catarina Civil Police began trying to locate the suspect’s place of work. It was then confirmed that the suspect would be performing services at a fruit tree in the city.

The man was found at the workplace and preliminarily detained. The 32-year-old suspect is from Porto Real do Colegio, Alagoas city.

Investigations to find another suspect are ongoing by the Santa Catarina Civil Police in cooperation with the Sergipe state security agency.
