(She said) that she regretted it at that moment and even performed resuscitation maneuvers on the victim,” said Liliane.
So far, no images have been found that record the crime and only one witness has testified. Liliane asked the other people present at the scene to come to the police station to collaborate in the investigation.
“There was an older man who even took the key to (Tiago’s) car, according to informal sources, so that he would not escape at that moment. These people had no sympathy for going to the police station to give a statement and this is very important for us to have a real search for the facts,” he added.

He highlighted that, Despite the bias of the population towards the facts, it is crucial that the corporation maintains its impartiality at work. “They were tense moments. We sympathize with the parties, with the family. It is very sad, it cannot be said that you are not worried all the time about the physical rigidity of the person responsible for the incident,” he concluded.
