The mother of the boy Miguel dos Santos Rodrigues and her ex-partner will go to trial this Thursday, at 9 am, at the Foro de Tramandaí, on the North coast. They are accused of the death of the seven-year-old child, which occurred in 2021. The trial is expected to last two days.
The date was set by judge Gilberto Pinto Fontoura, from the 1st Criminal Court of the District of Tramandaí, after the defenses’ appeals against the decision had been exhausted. The defendants will answer for the crimes of torture, qualified homicide and concealment of a corpse.
It was the child’s stepmother who revealed the facts to the Civil Police. She alleges that her ex tortured and killed the victim. Miguel’s mother, however, remains silent. The police say they located messages and photos indicating the participation of the two, who have been in preventive detention since then.
The crime occurred in Imbé. According to the Public Ministry of RS (MPRS), between April 17th and July 25th of that year, the two women subjected the boy to intense physical and mental suffering, as punishment for the fact that the child sought affection, care and attention.
