Rafael de Souza Lima, the ex-boyfriend of 19-year-old engineering student Sashira Camilly, has been sentenced to 22 years and 5 months in prison for her murder. The ruling was made during a trial held on Tuesday at the Desembargador Filinto Bastos Forum in Feira de Santana. The case drew public attention due to its tragic nature and the young age of the victim, sparking discussions on violence against women in Brazil. The crime occurred on September 15, 2021, in Vitória da Conquista, with Sashira's body later discovered in Planalto, approximately 50 km away. Prosecutors from the Bahia Public Ministry (MP-BA) stated that Rafael had arranged a meeting with Sashira the day before the murder and collaborated with two accomplices, Filipe dos Santos Gusmão and Marcos Vinicius Botelho Fernandes, to carry out the crime, indicating premeditation and intent to harm. Following the jury's decision, the court denied Rafael's request to appeal while free, ensuring he will begin serving his sentence immediately in a high-security facility in Vitória da Conquista. This case highlights ongoing issues related to gender-based violence in Brazil, emphasizing the legal system's role in addressing these crimes against women and the importance of community awareness and support for victims.
