The death of a military police officer mobilizes Civil Police investigations in Campo Magro, in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba.
Soldier Gabriel Thomas Feuerstein Fadel, 26, was kidnapped, tortured, and shot. The crime took place on Sunday (31), but confirmation that the body found was his only came on Monday (1).
Gabriel had disappeared on Friday (29) and there was a suspicion that it could be him, but it was not possible to identify him at the scene. According to police, the body was badly injured.
“The victim was found inside the trunk of the vehicle, which was documented in the name of family members. Many cases at the scene, blood stains in several areas, which indicates that there was a lot of movement, but this will be investigated calmly” described delegate Ivan da Silva, from Almirante Tamandaré, responsible for the investigations.
The body was sent to the Medical-Legal Institute, where it underwent examinations. Around 4 pm yesterday, confirmation came: Gabriel was recognized by fingerprint.
Still at the place where the body was found, the police ended up helping a man, who said he had been attacked. He was admitted to a hospital in Curitiba, where he remains, initially under police guard.
“Right now we have some lines of investigation, but it is very premature for us to open them, because this could harm the investigation of the facts. We have some lines, none of them are ruled out, but it is still premature” commented the delegate.
Gabriel was from the last class of PMs, which graduated in September 2023. He was the son of a retired PM colonel. In a statement, the military police lamented the soldier’s death and expressed solidarity with family and friends.
“The Corporation is applying its efforts to intelligence work, in collaboration with the Civil Police of Paraná, seeking to elucidate the crime” said the PM in a note.
