According to the delegate responsible for investigating the case, Rafael Faria Domingos, Jhenifer Luiza's body was abandoned at the scene last Saturday (16).
In the early afternoon of this Monday, after the young woman's body was located by a resident in the Eldorado neighborhood, images from security cameras helped identify one of the suspects.
Searches were carried out and the 22-year-old man, from the state of Pernambuco, was found. To the police, the man confessed to having participated in hiding the victim's body, but denied participation in the homicide.
A second suspect, aged 24, was identified by the man and then located by police. He denied any involvement in the crime.
Open arrest warrants were identified against both suspects, one for the crime of robbery and the other for the crime of drug trafficking. Following a request from the Civil Police, the Court ordered the temporary arrest of the two suspects.
The cause of Jhenifer's death is under investigation.
