In a disturbing incident in Bahia, Brazil, a 21-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly amputating two fingers of his partner. The violent act occurred in the early hours of Sunday in the municipality of Barra, specifically in the Vila Joanízia area. Authorities reported that the woman was taken to a hospital by a medical emergency service after the attack, which has raised concerns over domestic violence in the region.

According to the police, the couple had been in a four-year relationship, during which the suspect exhibited increasingly aggressive behavior, particularly after the victim expressed a desire to end the relationship approximately two years ago. Witnesses claimed that the man had threatened the woman with death if she attempted to leave him, highlighting the severe risks faced by individuals in abusive relationships.

The suspect has been charged with severe bodily harm and damage in the context of domestic violence, leading to a permanent disability of a member. This case sheds light on the pressing issue of violence against women in Brazil, prompting discussions about the need for stronger protective measures and support systems for victims of domestic abuse.
