According to the investigation, in the early hours of November 6, the suspect, who had acted with an accomplice, showed extreme violence against the victim. The elderly man, found dead by police, was naked, tied up, gagged and had serious bodily injuries. Walter suffered blows to the head and chest and was unable to resist the attacks suffered during the crime.

At the time of the crime, a television, a gas bottle and a wallet of bank notes were seized from the elderly person’s home. The crime occurred inside the victim’s residence, in the Mercado Central neighborhood. He lived alone.

Walter was a well-known merchant in the central area of the township. When he didn’t show up at the place he usually stayed, a couple who worked nearby noticed him and went to the property. On the spot, with no response from the old man, his friends broke down the door with the help of the neighbors. In the house, they found the victim’s body, according to information from g1.

The suspect was located and arrested by teams from the 1st Police District of Santa Inês, with the support of the 7th Regional Police Station. Investigations are being carried out by the Santa Inês Criminal Police Station (DHPP).
