Sara Furtado, the woman who abandoned her newborn baby at an ecopoint in Santa Apolónia, on the morning of November 5, 2019, began to be tried this Wednesday, September 9.
In the Courthouse, the 22-year-old woman, who lived with her boyfriend in a tent on the street, said she felt “fear” when she was pregnant and that she put the baby in that place so that someone would find it. “I was ashamed of being pregnant and I was afraid. I wanted to have the baby and raise it, but when it was born I did not know what to do with it. I threw it away so that someone could find it,” she said in court, quoted by “Mail in the morning”.
Sara Furtado, currently in preventive prison, will have cried in front of the panel of judges, ensuring that she only realized that she was pregnant at seven months of gestation. “I was in panic and despair,” she reported.
The size of the belly justified it with gas. Her boyfriend, Milton Sydney, also attended the Justice Campus, claiming that he did not know about the pregnancy and that Sara Furtado used the same argument to explain the belly bulge. “I never noticed or suspected anything. She said it was just bloated and it was gas. The day we were told there was a baby in the trash, we went there right away. She was looking at me, but I never knew anything.” said the man.
Sara Furtado is in preventive prison accused of attempted murder. After leaving home due to disagreements with her mother, on the morning of November 5, 2019, she abandoned her newborn son in a yellow ecopoint in Santa Apolónia, in a plastic bag, and then got rid of bloody clothes.
A few hours later, he returned to the scene. He saw the baby on his way to a date in Alfama. The then newborn, who turned 10 in September, was rescued 15 hours later. He received hospital treatment and was handed over to a foster family.
