The other victims were Aristânia de Moura Pereira (tda Silva's ex-wife), 29 and Antônia Mary de Moura Pereira, 47, (his ex-mother-in-law, and João's partner).
The night of this Thursday, 11th, was violent in the southern region of Palmas (Rua Vicenal 2, in Aureny I). A man killed his ex-wife, his ex-mother-in-law, a trans man (his ex-mother-in-law's partner) and then took his own life. The perpetrator had not accepted the end of his relationship with his ex-wife. The separation took place about a week earlier.
The name of the person responsible for the triple homicide is Valber Oliveira da Silva, 35 years old, and the victims Aristânia de Moura Pereira (ex-wife), 29 years old; Antônia Mary de Moura Pereira (former mother-in-law), 47 years old; and [deadname] Fernandes Rodrigues, 44 years old, who identified himself as a man (João) and was Antônia's current partner.
According to the Tocantins Military Police, military police were called to investigate reports of gunshots and possible homicides in the Aureny I sector and, upon arriving at the scene, the police team came across the perpetrator (Valber) shot in the head and with a holster on his waist, but the weapon was not there. He also found that the 29-year-old victim (Aristânia) had been shot in the head and chest.
The police team also saw that there were two other victims ([deadname] and Antônia) inside the house, both shot in the chest area. At the entrance to the location, the police found a pistol magazine loaded with .40 ammunition.
Aristânia was a makeup artist and left behind four children with the perpetrator. Valber also left behind a son from another relationship.
