Ana Karolina Sousa, a 31-year-old influencer and entrepreneur from Itapipoca, Ceará, was tragically found murdered in her home after her family lost contact with her. Known for her work in aesthetics, particularly in eyelash extensions, she also engaged in teaching and giving seminars in this field, boasting over 12,000 followers on social media where she shared her professional journey.
The discovery of her body on Saturday night revealed not only fatal stab wounds but also signs of physical assault, raising concerns over domestic violence. Her family has named Anderson Renan Magalhães Freitas, Ana's ex-husband, as the primary suspect in her murder, who reportedly fled the scene on a motorcycle.

The authorities are expected to intensify their investigation to locate Freitas and bring him to justice, while also addressing the broader implications of intimate partner violence that is prevalent across the country.
