Doctor Hosmany Ramos, aged 79, was arrested on Wednesday, 1st, in Itajaí (SC), after being identified as the author of a shooting at a man. The bullet grazed the victim’s head, who survived and was admitted to a hospital, where he remained this Thursday, 2. Ramos was arrested on charges of attempted murder. Submitted to a custody hearing this Thursday, he was kept in prison.
– Famous plastic surgeon, the doctor worked with Ivo Pitanguy in the 1970s, when he was prominent in Rio society.
– But throughout the 1970s he turned to illegality and in 1981 he was sentenced to 45 years in prison for crimes such as plane robbery, car smuggling and the murder of two people, including his private pilot.
– He was released in 2016, after spending more than 35 years in prison. In prison, he wrote eight books and starred in cinematic escapes.
According to the Santa Catarina Military Police, on Wednesday afternoon Ramos met with a man who works as a real estate agent. The doctor would be willing to buy land to build a clinic and that’s why they went together to visit an area in the Cabeçudas neighborhood, says the PM. But Ramos ended up having a disagreement with the seller, pulled out a revolver and shot.
In a statement to the Civil Police, he stated that the seller attacked him first and he shot to defend himself, police said. But a security camera captured the moment of the confusion and showed that it was not a reaction from Ramos – he was not confronted before drawing the gun.
The report was unable to contact Ramos’ lawyers or representatives to comment on the doctor’s arrest.
