Ramon de Souza Pereira was arrested this Tuesday (age 23) on charges of killing girls in order to take revenge on his wife, whom he was divorcing. It was found in a wooded area in Santo António de Goias (GO).

According to police, the children’s father recorded the action and sent them to their mother and grandparents. In a telephone conversation obtained by the police, the father speaks to his maternal grandparents and informs them that he will kill the children. Grandparents try to dissuade him, but the man claims that his daughters will “live in heaven.” One of them replies, “Don’t do it, Dad.”

Crime Motivation

According to the Record TV channel, a man would suspect a woman of treason. He decided to put a tracker in the car, which led him to the act of his wife with her lover.

Upon discovery, the man attacked the woman and went to his daughters’ school to pick them up. Both were taken by their father to the forest zone and killed.

The police were called and found the charred car with the bodies of the victims near the Goias highway in the city of Santo António de Goias. The bodies were taken to the IML (Medical Institute of Law) in Goiania.

On Tuesday evening (23) Ramon had an operation. After that, he was arrested with neck injuries because, according to police, he tried to commit suicide.
