The victim showed signs of a headshot. The PJ first detained the woman's partner and then the brother of that. Already this morning the latter was released.
Elsa Luz from 44 year old, mother of a girl from 24 and a boy of 12 year old, was killed yesterday with a shot in the parietal area, having the bullet entered the head and exited the opposite side. The murder weapon has not yet been found..
The Judicial Police (PJ) detained the victim's partner and the brother of that.
Less than half an hour after entering the room, where the two men known as “Coins” were held by the PSP, the inspectors detained us, being the main suspects of the crime.
The alert was given to the Beja Volunteer Firefighters and to the emergency and resuscitation medical vehicle (VMER) City Hospital, cerca the 12,22 hours, for a woman in cardiac arrest (PCR), in a housing in the Social Quarter, located near the Municipal Forest. Given the scenario found, the PSP was called and later the PJ. The death was confirmed on site by the VMER physician.
The victim was lying on the bed and the body had some cadaveric stiffness, which makes it clear that the death will have occurred at dawn this Monday. Neighbors didn't hear any shots, but the bullet's entry wound makes it clear that the shot was fired very close and muffled with a pillow. Unlike the act of the victim's death, the neighbors listened to the constant discussions between the couple..
Fabio Cavaco from 36 year old, Elsa's companion, who has already served a prison sentence for domestic violence, called a neighbor saying that when he got home he "found the dead woman", the witness having described that "the body was frozen. It was strange that there was no weapon". Later it was the suspect himself who gave the alert to ask for help.
Minutes before the arrival of aid and authorities, some neighbors saw Francisco Cavaco from 20 year old, brother of the main suspect, leaving the building with some bags that they described carrying "clothes and other objects". Due to the fact that no weapon was found on the woman's body, the PSP searched the existing garbage moloks near the crime scene, but they found nothing that could incriminate the brothers.
The two men were taken by the PJ inspectors to the PSP police station in Beja where they made their first statements and, based on these statements, their coercive status would be traced.. Faced with a strong PSP device that isolated the street where the crime took place, cerca the 18,10 hours the body of Elsa Luz was taken to the Legal Doctor's Office in Beja, where it will be autopsied.
UPDATE: Francisco Cavaco heard in court and released
Taken yesterday by the Beja PSP to provide statements on the facts, Francisco Cavaco was heard in court today and was eventually released.
On leaving the court, in statements to CMtv, explained that “I was taken to the PSP Criminal Investigation Squad. They took my fingerprints and gave statements”, describing that yesterday his brother called him to go home “because Elsa was dead”, adding that he believed that she “committed suicide. my sister-in-law must have killed herself, because I had already tried to commit suicide twice. my brother is innocent, I did everything for her”, finished.
Fábio remains detained by the PJ of Faro, due to be present in court in the next few hours..
