Bárbara's body was found at her boyfriend's house. She had been strangled.

A 34-year-old woman, identified as Bárbara Vergetti Martins de Souza, was found dead with signs of strangulation on Tuesday afternoon (1st), in the Cachambi neighborhood, North Zone of Rio. The body was discovered at her boyfriend's house, located on Rua Cirne Maia, after Bárbara's disappearance last Sunday (29).

Bárbara was a social sciences student at the Fluminense Federal University (UFF) and a trans woman. She had recently been accepted into a master's degree program.

The Missing Persons Unit (DDPA), which was in charge of the case of her disappearance, found the body and sent it to the Leopoldina Forensic Medical Institute (IML) for forensic examination. The Capital Homicide Unit (DHC) is conducting the investigation and searching for the suspect, who remains at large. In addition, the police are collecting security camera footage and witness statements to clarify the circumstances of the crime.
