The Civil Police is currently investigating the murder of Ana Karolina Sousa, which they are treating as a femicide. The incident took place in Itapipoca, a city in the state of Ceará, Brazil. According to Ana's brother, she was being monitored by her ex-husband, Anderson Renan Magalhães Freitas, through a security camera that he had installed at her home. Freitas is now the main suspect in the case and is currently at large.

Ana, known as Karol, was brutally beaten and stabbed to death in her own home. At the age of 31, she was a biomedicine student and owned a beauty business specializing in eyelash extensions. She was active on social media, where she shared her professional life and had gained over 12,000 followers. The crime has sent shockwaves through the community, especially since Karol was a mother to a seven-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

The investigation is focused on the circumstances surrounding the murder and the actions of the suspect leading up to the crime. The use of surveillance technology in domestic settings is raising concerns about privacy and security, especially in cases of domestic violence, shedding light on the alarming trend of gender-based violence in Brazil. As the police continue their search for the suspect, advocates for women's rights are calling for more stringent measures to protect women in vulnerable situations.
