According to the civilian police, the witnesses were aware of the man’s violent history and were afraid to speak to the authorities, but decided to testify given the brutality of the case.
Douglas Alves da Silva was arrested last Sunday (30/11). The man was shot in the arm after reacting to the approach and trying to grab the gun from a customer. On Monday (12/1), the court kept him in prison after the custody hearing.
Tainara remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit and had both of his legs amputated. According to the victim’s family’s lawyers, she is not in danger of death.
The man says he wanted to scare his ex-girlfriend
During his testimony, Douglas Alves da Silva stated that he wanted to scare Tainara after a bar fight. According to Delegate Augusto Cesar Pedroso Besigo, Chief of the 90th Police, he said that he arrived at the location on Friday (28/11) around 9pm and started drinking drinks in the company of a friend named Kawan.
The friend got into an argument with a man – who was with Tainara – and a fight broke out. Douglas said he tried to break up the fight but was hit in the face with a bottle. He got into the car with Cowan and left the scene, but he saw Tainara and the man coming out of the bar.
Douglas stated in his testimony that he maneuvered to stop the car next to the couple with the aim of scaring them, but he ended up colliding with Tainara, who was under the car. He said he believed the car had suffered some mechanical failure, which is why it accelerated.
Douglas also stated that he closed the windows and turned up the volume, so he did not notice the gestures of other drivers warning not to tow Taynara. The man said he did not provide assistance and fled the scene for fear of being attacked by witnesses.
The police deny the version
- But Douglas’s testimony contradicts information collected by police.
- According to investigations, the criminal knew Tainara and had an intermittent relationship with him. He acted out of jealousy and not accepting the end of the relationship.
- Cowan tried to discourage Douglas and insisted that the man stop the car while the woman was dragged along the road.
- Police Chief Augusto Besigo also stated that Douglas did not stop the car and that Taenara only escaped because the body became separated.
Tayanara’s sister stated that Douglas had been pursuing her for some time and they never had a serious relationship. The victim remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU), but there is no risk of death.
