According to the lawyer representing the professionals, Eduardo Morais, the images were recorded minutes after the death of 66-year-old security guard Nivaldo Bezerra da Silva. (see video above).

The images are strong. They show an ambulance parked in front of Derby Square, the man lying on the ground and two guards standing. One of them kicks and then three other professionals arrive and also attack the patient, whose name was not disclosed.

Then, one of them shoots the fallen man, who stops moving. Later, the guards get on motorbikes and leave the place. According to lawyer Eduardo Morais, the shot was fired in self-defense.

“When the guard approaches, you understand that he [o paciente] was going to make some reaction and fire a containment shot”, said the defender.

The security guards involved in the patient’s death were taken to the Homicide and Personal Protection Department. The person who shot was arrested in the act, and the others gave statements and were released.

The weapon was stolen around 4:30 am, at the entrance to the red wing. The patient is from Timbaúba, in the Zona da Mata of Pernambuco, and was admitted with back pain in the hospital’s orthopedics department. He took a guard’s gun at the time of the changing of the guard and shot Nivaldo Bezerra, who was trying to restrain him.

The patient then surrendered to the driver of an ambulance and fled the scene, but was intercepted by security guards and subsequently killed. According to Eduardo Morais, the attacker also injured a third worker.

According to Petrus Andrade Lima, director of Hospital da Restauração, the unit’s security has 66 hired guards. Of this total, 16 professionals work on night shifts, and 18 on day shifts.
