The first witness to be heard was Igor’s girlfriend’s friend. He said that he was at a party with Igor’s girlfriend and saw Marco Gonçalves (“Orellas”) running. He also said that he saw Igor fall, that he saw many people in excitement, but did not name names.

The lawyer for Igor’s family asked to challenge the witness based on the testimony he gave to the judicial police, but the defense did not agree. Given the contradictions, he requested a certificate so that prosecutors could investigate any possible crime related to false statements.

“They started hitting our ambulance, we asked for help and left from there,” he explains, adding that there were no security conditions.

Another firefighter, Igor’s neighbor, assured that she knew nothing about the crime. “I just took Igor’s sister to the place where everything happened, and my daughter found a razor in the grass,” he said.

The fifth witness also reported seeing “a boy running and a group of other boys behind him (Igor).” “I saw the boys grab him and then a man attacked him. I only noticed the impacts. Then he fell to the ground. The police walked past me and I showed what was happening there,” he said.
