Man is indicted for killing ex's current boyfriend with knives in Castro
Crime occurred on October 31. Diogo was killed with knives. Perpetrator was indicted
The Civil Police of Paraná (PCPR), through the 43rd Regional Police Station of Castro, concluded the police investigation regarding the qualified homicide that victimized Diogo de Lima, 36 years old. The crime occurred in the early hours of October 31, 2026, in the neighborhood Perpétuo Socorro, in the municipality of Castro. The investigator, a 32-year-old man, was arrested in flagrante and indicted for qualified homicide.
According to investigations conducted by the PCPR investigation team, the crime was motivated by the suspect’s dissatisfaction with the termination of the affective relationship with his ex-partner, a 28-year-old woman, who had started a relationship with the victim about two months before the facts.
The Dynamics of Crime
At around 1 a.m., the 32-year-old man moved to the residence of the 28-year-old woman carrying a knife. When viewing the vehicle belonging to Diogo de Lima parked at the scene, the investigator used the instrument to drill two tires of the car and remained nearby awaiting the exit of the victim.
When they heard the noise of the tires being emptied, Diogo de Lima and the 28-year-old woman left the property to check the car. Fearing for his safety, the victim took over the vehicle and travelled at low speed on public roads.
A few meters ahead, in Rua Vereador Antonio Neyr Simão, the victim stopped the car to inspect the damaged tires. Taking advantage of the moment when Diogo de Lima was disembarking and checking the damage, the 32-year-old approached and struck the victim’s chest with multiple knife strokes. The aggression only ceased when the blade of the piercing-cutting instrument broke and fell on the floor of the rear of the automobile.
The victim suffered hypovolemic shock resulting from the heart injuries caused by the gun and died on the spot.
From the arrest in flagrante and indictment
On the day of the incident, the author was arrested in flagrante by the Military Police and taken to the police station on the spot.
At the headquarters of the Civil Police, during interrogation, the investigator spontaneously confessed to having punctured the tires of the car and delivered the knife strokes against the victim, and was then arrested in flagrante for the crime of qualified homicide. He was then sent to Castro’s public prison, where he remains in pre-trial detention.
On the afternoon of Monday (9), after the conclusion of the investigations, the 32-year-old was indicted for the crime of murder qualified for the awkward and half-cruel motive.
