Report revealed the presence of ethyl alcohol, which may have originated during decomposition; Maicol Antonio Sales dos Santos, the main suspect in the crime, is temporarily detained
The 17 -year -old was brutally murdered in Cajamar, in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. His body was discovered on March 5, after disappearing on February 26. The examination performed by the Forensic Medical Institute (IML) found no evidence of sexual abuse, but revealed the presence of ethyl alcohol, which may have originated during decomposition, leading the authorities to consider the hypothesis that the adolescent was doped. In addition, it also confirmed death for traumatic bleeding after three stab wounds.
Maicol Antonio Sales dos Santos, the main suspect in the crime, is temporarily detained. During the investigations, police found traces of blood at their residence, as well as genetic material in tools located near the place where Vitória’s body was found. Maicol’s defense is awaiting the release of the process to present its version of the facts. The suspect’s stepfather claimed that the tools in question had disappeared about two weeks before the crime.
In addition, police are analyzing the presence of blood in the trunk of Maicol’s car, a Toyota Corolla, which stands out among the three seized vehicles. The location of the suspect’s cell phone suggests that he was near Vitória before his disappearance. Maicol’s wife contradicted his statement that he had spent the night at home on the date of the crime.
Witnesses reported hearing shouts and noticed suspicious movements at the residence of the main suspect, who is considered the most relevant but not the only one in the investigation. Although police requested the arrest of three individuals, only Maicol’s arrest has been authorized so far, while investigations are still looking for more evidence and possible accomplices.
