On the afternoon of Wednesday (23) the Civil Police temporarily arrested a suspect for the killing of a [trans woman] in Santa Maria, in the central region of the state. The body of the victim, Morgana Cláudia Ribeiro Paraná, was found at her home on Monday (20), around 1 pm.
In a statement to the police, the 30-year-old man claimed to have met the victim at dawn on the 19th, but claimed he had not gone home with her.
