Curitiba, Paraná (Brazil)
Stabbed
Isabely died after being stabbed in the street by a client.
A trans woman died after being stabbed in the throat in the center of Curitiba. The case happened after the victim had an encounter with a man on Tuesday night (14).
According to the Civil Police, witnesses stated that she had gone out with a man hours before being attacked. After being stabbed in the throat, she apparently tried to run to escape: “There are some drops of blood approximately 100 meters from here, which indicates that she was attacked in a location other than where she fell,” say the police.
The crime was recorded on Rua Alameda Cabral on the corner of Avenida Princesa Isabel. Subsequently, employees of a bar in the region called the Military Police (PM). Siate was also called to help the victim.
The police stated that what is known so far is that the victim had claimed that she was going out to meet a man and was later found dead. She was stabbed in the throat.
The woman lived close to the crime scene and worked in a beauty salon in Curitiba. The victim was already unconscious when security teams arrived and, a moment later, she succumbed to her injuries.
A month after Isabely's murder a man was charged with femicide.
Subsequently The Public Ministry of Paraná, through the 5th Public Prosecutor's Office for Intentional Crimes against Life, filed a complaint for qualified homicide against a man who stabbed a woman to death in Curitiba on the night of November 14 of this year. The crime, classified as feminicide, was motivated by transphobia – intolerance to the victim's gender identity, who was a trans woman.
In the complaint, the Public Prosecutor's Office points out that the attacks began after the defendant refused to pay the amount of R$600 for the sexual program provided by the woman, who said she would insead charge for it by disclosing the intimate relationship that occurred between them.
The vile motive, consisting of transphobia, the use of a resource that made it difficult to defend the victim, and feminicide, as it was committed due to the victim's female sex, were identified as qualifiers.
