In a tragic incident in Ivaí, Paraná, the local police have identified 33-year-old suspect in the murder of 82-year-old nun Nadia Gavanski, who was also found to be a victim of rape. The police report indicates that the alleged crime occurred on February 21, when the nun was discovered in the convent with signs of physical violence and partially removed clothing. The suspect, who has not been named in media reports, is currently in preventive custody as investigations continue. During his interrogation, he admitted to part of the aggressions and claimed he was influenced by 'voices'.

The police indictment includes charges of qualified homicide, qualified rape, resistance, and aggravated violation of domicile, reflecting the heinous nature of the act against the nun who was a member of the Congregation of the Servants of Mary Immaculate. According to Delegate Hugo Santos Fonseca, the determination of rape was based on evidence from forensic examinations, which indicated injuries consistent with the offense.

This case raises serious concerns regarding security and violence against vulnerable populations, especially within religious settings. It highlights the need for thorough investigations into crimes involving abuse of trust, as the nun was attacked within her own community. The implications of this incident might prompt discussions on safeguarding religious institutions and providing support for potential victims within these environments.
