Arrested on the spot for the murder of the woman, which occurred inside the couple’s residence in Alphaville, the old man will be charged with the crime of femicide. He reportedly stabbed his wife during a psychotic break.
In the decision, the Justice determines that the man be sent to the Hospital for Custody and Treatment (HCT) in Salvador, and must remain in place until authorized for his release, as the process progresses.

According to the Civil Police, a team from the Crime Scene Investigation Service (Silc) transferred Tarcila’s companion to the Department of Homicides and Personal Protection (DHPP), where the old man was fined on the spot for femicide. According to the ruling, at the scene, the man said he did not remember what happened, but he presumed to have committed the crime after waking up with his wife in bloodied clothes. According to the decision, the couple would have returned from Praia do Forte to their home in Salvador last Friday (16).
The court alleges that the couple’s son reported to the police that eight years ago the old man tried to strangle his wife and that he had already undergone psychiatric treatment. Still, according to the son, according to the decision, after this episode, the businesswoman would have stayed a month in São Paulo and then would have moved with her partner. Also according to the document, the man is the main defendant.
The decision emphasizes that there is “doubt about the mental condition” because the old man confessed to the crime without remembering the facts and still affirmed that he lived well with the woman. The “dangerousness and risk of repetition” were also taken into account for the request for provisional hospitalization.
