On Saturday afternoon, the Civil Police recovered a 22-year-old woman from captivity in Vertente do Lério, Pernambuco. The operation was carried out by teams from the Surubim and Casinhas police precincts, who were on special duty for Carnival when they received a tip-off about a situation of domestic violence occurring at a yellow single-story house near the community's cemetery. Upon reaching the location, officers confirmed the report and found visible signs of physical abuse on the victim.

The victim was rescued from the premises and taken to the Surubim Police Station to undergo the necessary legal procedures, highlighting the urgent response of law enforcement in addressing domestic abuse. As the police closed in, the female victim’s partner, who's alleged to have perpetrated the violence, evaded capture and fled into a nearby wooded area, and as of now, remains at large.

This incident underscores the continuing issues of domestic violence in Brazil, especially during times of celebration like Carnival when such crimes may often be exacerbated. Authorities are now on a manhunt for the suspect, emphasizing the need for greater vigilance and support for victims of such crimes, as community awareness remains critical in combating domestic abuse.
