Investigations into the double murder of lawyer Brenda Oliveira, aged 26, and her client, Janielson Nunes de Lima, aged 25, in January this year, revealed that they were victims of a revenge plan. On the morning of Tuesday 30th, during an operation by the RN Civil Police to clarify the crime, eight people were arrested. Among those detained is a military police officer, whose residence was found with a stock of several illegal weapons (see video below). The corporal was on duty when he was arrested.
According to authorities, the main target of those responsible for the crime was Janielson, Brenda’s client. He was under investigation as a suspect in the death of cowboy João Victor Bento da Costa, aged 19, who was shot dead in the early hours of January 28, during a cattle drive in Parque Maria Salete, in Santo Antônio.

According to investigations, Janielson’s murder was planned and carried out by João Victor’s family and friends. Those responsible for the crime waited for the suspect to leave the police station, on January 30, and executed him less than 1 km from the police unit.
In addition to Janielson, the criminals also took the life of lawyer Brenda Oliveira, who was giving him a ride. Three other people from Janielson’s family or associates were in the vehicle and survived. Those detained will also face attempted murder charges against these people.
