Paula was beaten and left naked on the road. She was found by the police on 16th May and transferred to a hospital in Goiania, but died four days later.

At about 9 am on Monday (16), the Military Police were called by a citizen who reported having found a body on a back road in the municipality of Goiandira. At the scene, military police officers located the victim, who had head injuries. The fire brigade assisted and referred the injured person to the emergency room of Santa Casa de Catalão. The victim did not carry identification documents and had to be transferred to a hospital in Goiânia.

The victim died on 05/20/2016.

Subsequently a 25 year old suspect was arrested.

Due to the circumstances, due diligence was performed and a suspect, PHA, 25, was identified. Crews from the 18th Battalion moved to a farm in the municipality of Cumari where they arrested the suspect, then he was presented at the Goiandira Police Station where he was charged in the act of attempting murder by being arrested in that municipality.
