Remembering Our Dead

Elvira Costa Ferreira

Elvira was kicked, punched and then stabbed to death on Pedro Mendes Vasconcelos Street in the Novo Maranguape neighborhood.

Elvira lived alone and worked as a cleaner. About 15 days before her death she had posted to a social network about her life and the difficulties she faced.

“Yeah. May I last the time I have to last. Fear of dying? Much”; “You know my life is not easy … hunger, drugs, no sleep, practically alone,” she quoted in two posts.
