Joana Batista, who ordered the murder of her lover Joao Ramos, and the friend who committed the murder in Miranda do Corvo, were detained this Saturday. The detainees were present at the first judicial interrogation and remained silent before the prosecution.
There is also a third suspect who is still on the run.
Joan and the victim had an extramarital relationship and death was due to debt. Joana accompanied Joao on the trip from Penela to Lamas and witnessed the crime. The woman ordered the death of Joao Ramos to two friends.
The body of Joao Ramos, a mechanic over 50, was found this Thursday in a landfill.
Traces of severe violence were found on the corpse, several deep cuts on the face, chest and abdomen. It was a highway worker who was getting ready to go on duty, who stumbled upon a body and was shocked at the scene of extreme violence.
