The killer, Marcelo Nistarda Antoniassi, 49, was caught red-handed with a knife in his hand as he shouted at police to kill him.

The victim, Milena Dantas Bereta Nistarda, who had been trying to separate from her husband for months due to unhealthy jealousy and the attacks of which she was becoming the victim more and more often, decided this Monday, February 26, that she had had enough. about so much humiliation and so much suffering after being forced into violence for a sexual relationship she didn’t want, and she went to the police station to report Marcelo and ask for protective measures to be taken that would keep him away from her. Shortly after returning home, where her husband still lived and which he flatly refused to leave or allow her to do so, Milena was killed.
