POST 16 OF 16

The mother of Diego de Souza, suspected of killing his own daughter and shooting his ex-wife, said that she misses her granddaughter every day. “It’s a pain that will never go away, imagine what my son must be like, my son is not a criminal, he has a mother, he has a family”, she said emotionally. Diego confessed to having murdered his own daughter, Ayla Neres, aged 3, in Londrina, and shooting her. The crime was recorded this Monday (23).

Judge Eveline Zanoni de Andrade, of the Court of Justice of Paraná (TJPR), denied the request for examination made by lawyer Alexandre de Aquino, responsible for Diego de Souza’s defense.

“The request for the establishment of a mental incident does not require approval, as there is no
moment by the Court, doubt about the mental integrity of the defendant, which is why I reject it”, said the judge in a decision. The suspect’s defense argued that he will file an appeal and that he will request psychiatric care on court duty.
