Operation Safe Woman: In Manacapuru, PC-AM and PMAM arrest a man for causing bodily harm to his stepdaughter Photo: Disclosure/PC-AM A 63-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attacking his 34-year-old stepdaughter in Manacapuru, a city 68 km from Manaus. The arrest took place on Monday (8) by the Civil Police of Amazonas, in partnership with the Military Police. The arrest is part of Operation Safe Woman, an initiative by the Ministry of Justice and Public Security that combats domestic violence and crimes against women throughout Brazil. According to delegate Joyce Coelho, the case began after the Military Police were called to contain a family argument. Everyone involved was taken to the police station to provide clarification. "During the hearings, the investigation team identified that the confusion had been motivated by an episode of domestic violence involving the suspect and his stepdaughter. According to the victim, she went to the residence to deliver a food basket to her mother, but her presence would have displeased her stepfather, who pushed her and held her by the neck violently, causing apparent injuries", said delegate Joyce Coelho. 📲 Join the g1 AM channel on WhatsApp According to the delegate, after the attack, other family members intervened, which resulted in a widespread argument.
