Civil Police investigate death of man attacked with stones to the head, punches and kicks in Montes Claros | Grande Minas

In an interview with Inter TV, police chief Bruno Rezende reported that of the five arrested, only one was caught in the act and remains in prison.

“All those involved gave statements at the police station on duty, only one of them was charged, because it was said that he was the main aggressor, including throwing stones at the victim. The others involved were released on duty, but the investigation will evaluate both the participation of this defendant and the others involved, including all those who in some way made an attempt on this victim’s life.”

The delegate also explained that investigations are being carried out at the scene of the crime, this Thursday (14), with the intention of finding images from security cameras and identifying witnesses.

“We are also awaiting the autopsy reports and all the circumstances of the investigation, to individualize the participation of each person who was identified.”

The delegate also confirmed that he is investigating whether a motorcyclist and a cyclist were involved in the attacks, as reported by the suspects on the day of the events. These alleged attackers have not been identified.
