The turn of the year for the families of Marcinho and the couple Alexandre Silva Lima and María Cristina José Soares was not as they imagined. On the 30th, the Cefet teachers were going to throw flowers to Iemanjá on the Recreio beach, as they do every 31st, but they anticipated the date for fear that the beach would be too crowded the following night. Despite living nearby, they chose to drive to the beach. After parking, they crossed the street, when they were surprised by Marcinho.
The right-back was on the penultimate day of his contract with Botafogo and did not provide assistance to the victims. Shortly after beating the couple, Marcinho did not stop to provide help and drove another kilometer to near the home of a family friend. In an exclusive interview for Fantástico (see the full article in the video above), the player denies having consumed alcohol and cited the same reason he gave the police for not helping the victims: he was afraid of being lynched.
– I was afraid that they would really lynch me. He was very scared, very scared. Too much glass in my eye, the broken car, the glass in my face, you’re in shock. I must say that I did not drink alcohol.
The version of not helping the victims for fear of lynching was not swallowed by the family or by the police officer in charge of the case, Alan Luxardo. For the victims’ lawyer, Márcio Albuquerque, there would be no possibility that he feared reprisals from those on the beach because leaving the scene of the accident was almost instantaneous, as can be seen in the images of the security cameras.
– I did not understand in his testimony, because he says that the people were already gathering, but how to gather the people, if he did not even stop the car? So how did you see people getting together?

Alexandre and Maria Cristina were very loved by the Cefet students. The teacher helped create the environmental engineering course and, despite being 66 years old to retire, guaranteed that she would only do so after graduation from the first class, in 2021.
A mechanical engineer, Alexandre was younger and 44 years old. Together for 13 years, the teacher was greatly admired by his wife’s students and children. Dedicated to work, studies and family, Alexandre and Cristina “were completed” and served as a “safe haven” for children and grandchildren.

The civil police investigation is not over yet. The result of the three investigations carried out on the Mini Cooper that Marcinho was driving at the time of the accident is missing. Although there is no speed already determined by the experts, the delegate says that it can be said that it was above the maximum allowed.
– He stated that he was at a speed of approximately 60 kilometers per hour. We already found that there was a speed above the limit of that region, of traffic, either due to the impact caused on the victim, which was projected at a distance of approximately 50, 60 meters and making a comparison with the damage of the vehicle, we Through an equation, we arrive at a certain speed at which the vehicle was.

Marcinho was indicted for double homicide (when there is no intention to kill). The penalty can be up to eight years in prison and can be extended between one third and one half for lack of assistance.
