This Friday, the court of Viana do Castelo sentenced a man to 20 years in prison for the murder of his wife in Correllana, in Ponte de Lima. Fernando Correia, 43, took the life of Sonia Marisa, 33, after an argument on May 3 last year. Inside the house, he chased his companion with a pistol and fired several shots at point-blank range. At stake were “frivolous motives” and “sick jealousy,” the Defense Ministry said.
ABOUT cm he knows Sonya has been under constant pressure from her partner for over ten years of their relationship. Fernando was prone to aggression and constantly accused the victim of cheating on him with other men.
On the day of the crime, the woman was met at home with insults and threats. The assailant went on the attack and pointed a gun at him from close range. Several shots were fired and it is known that Fernando even reloaded his pistol. Sonya was left with wounds on her neck, chest, arms and hands. Given their severity, he could not stand it and eventually died.
