In Icém, São Paulo, a 25-year-old man was arrested after presenting himself to the police in connection with the stabbing murder of 63-year-old Eduardo Silveira. Eduardo was discovered dead in his kitchen by a passerby, who initiated the police response. Authorities reported that his body was covered with two blankets and subsequently transported to the Medical Legal Institute for further examination.

The suspect, who lived with the victim, confessed during his police statement that he had fatally stabbed Eduardo during a dispute linked to drug use, claiming he acted in self-defense.

Following his confession, the delegate overseeing the case issued a preventive arrest warrant for the suspect. The police investigation is ongoing as they attempt to determine the full context of the altercation and whether the claim of self-defense holds merit in light of the evidence being collected. This case highlights issues related to domestic violence and drug-related disputes, raising questions about safety and conflict resolution in local communities.
