"The IML report indicated that the cause of death was drowning. Therefore, the victim was still alive when he was thrown into the waterfall", commented delegate Ayslan.
According to the MPPI, he stole objects from the deceased victim, changed his profile photo on a messaging app and tried to sell a cooler.
"For this crime, he was sentenced to one year, two months and 18 days in prison," explained the MPPI.
At the time, the police chief said that, before the crime, the victim took a photo with the suspect and sent it to a friend. As they were in a rural area, there was no cell phone signal.
After killing Manoel, Diego fled the scene with the victim's cell phone. When you entered an area with telephone coverage, the photo was sent.
The Ministry considered that the homicide was committed using cruel means and with resources that made it impossible for the victim to defend himself.
The Ministry also considered that the location of the crime made it difficult to locate the body, hampered assistance and facilitated the escape of the suspect, who was arrested on March 28 in Teresina.
At the time of his arrest, Diego confessed to the crime and told the police that the two drank alcohol and had a disagreement, but did not say the reason for the argument.
