Man arrested after threatening ex-partner with death in Piraí
A 31-year-old man was arrested in Piraí, Brazil, for threatening his ex-partner via audio messages after violating protective measures.
In Piraí, Brazil, a 31-year-old man was arrested for sending audio messages that included threats to kill his ex-partner. The arrest took place on Monday in the Varjão neighborhood after the victim, a 26-year-old woman, reported the violation of protective measures that had been put in place following previous incidents of physical aggression. The couple has a four-year-old son, and their relationship ended in December 2025 due to the man's violent behavior.
The police stated that despite a court order prohibiting any contact and requiring the man to stay away from the victim, he continued to stalk her and harass her through threatening messages. On the morning of his arrest, he sent an audio message directly threatening the victim and her family, asserting that he would kill her if he saw her with anyone else. This incident highlights the serious issue of domestic violence and the challenges victims face when protective measures are not effectively enforced.
The case emphasizes the critical need for law enforcement and judicial systems to ensure that protective orders are taken seriously to safeguard victims of domestic abuse. It also raises awareness about the psychological impact such threats can have on individuals, especially in cases involving children. Authorities are called to enhance their response to domestic violence cases to prevent further incidents and protect those at risk.
