Mother and son wanted for double murder in Mato Grosso hand themselves in to the police

The cattle rancher Inês Gemilaki and her son, doctor Bruno Gemilaki Dal Poz, handed themselves over to the police on Tuesday afternoon (23), who were being sought after accused of a double murder in the city of Peixoto de Azevedo, in Mato Grosso. Inês was filmed by security camera footage as the woman who fired the pistol shots that killed Pilson Pereira da Silva, aged 69, and Rui Luiz Bogo, aged 81, on Sunday, the 21st. Bruno accompanied his mother carrying a shotgun 12 caliber. According to the Civil Police of Peixoto de Azevedo, the two elderly people had been killed by mistake. The police say that “the crime targeted the owner of the residence where the gathering was taking place”.

According to police information, minutes before the crime, Inês and her son Bruno registered a police report where they reported alleged threats against them, due to rent debts. She and her son allegedly owed money to the owner of the house where the deaths took place. The defense of the victims’ family said that the crime was premeditated. Recording the bulletin would be an attempt to justify the crime.

On Tuesday morning, the Civil Police had already arrested Marcio Ferreira Gonçalves and his brother, Eder Gonçalves Rodrigues, accused of involvement in the crime. The arrests of Márcio and Éder took place in a house in the central region of Alta Floresta, 800 kilometers from Cuiabá and 126 kilometers from Peixoto de Azevedo. Márcio is the husband of cattle rancher Inês and stepfather of doctor Bruno Gemilaki Dal Poz. He was the one who drove the Ford Ranger as the mother and son escaped. Éder would have confessed to participating in the crime, saying that he entered the house, the scene of the crime, together with Inês and Bruno.
