Jasmyne was stabbed by a client.
A 20 year old [trans woman] whose social name is Jasmyne da Silva was stabbed to death on Sunday, 09, in Tabuleiro do Martins in the upper part of Maceió.
On social networks friends of the victim reported that Jasmyne, who was a [sex worker] had gone out with a client and he had killed her with several blows of a melee weapon.
"I saw her around 10:00 last night. She went to see a client. He then, wickedly, stabbed her after the show. He either had no money to pay or had arrived with the intention of doing evil. So, trans girls, be very careful because Jasmyne never hurt anyone. She's a person i don't have to talk about. My feelings for the family," a friend of the victim, Lanna Hellen, said on Instagram Stories.
After the crime, the police authorities were activated. The experts of the Institute of Criminalistics carried out the surveys in order to find traces that help in elucidating the case. Then the body was released for burial.
On 28th January Mário José Barbosa de Melo was arrested and confessed to her murder. He claimed he killed her thinking she was someone else.
Civil Police delegates detailed this Monday morning (31), the circumstanes of the murder of a transgender woman identified as Jasmyne Silva, who was killed on the night of the 8th of this month. Her body was found the next day in undergrowth near Avenida Menino Marcelo (Via Expressa), in the Tabuleiro do Martins neighborhood. According to the delegate, the author of the crime "justified" his actions by saying that he killed Jasmyne by mistake, thinking that she was another transgender woman with whom he had previously hired for sex and stolen from him.
His account has been discounted by police, who believe that he intended to kill the victim - so much so that he left the house carrying the knife he used in the murder. The victim was hit in the neck, back and arms - which indicates that she got into a physical fight with the criminal.
The DHPP team also found that before murdering Jasmyne, the accused tried to go out with another transgender woman who frequents that region, only not consummating the program because they could not agree on a price.
