Couple arrested suspected of murdering the mother of five who has been missing for more than three months in Campos, RJ
A couple was arrested in Campos, Brazil, for their suspected involvement in the homicide of Greicy Kelly Gomes do Nascimento, who has been missing since November 17, 2025.
The Civil Police in Brazil arrested a couple on Tuesday (3rd) for allegedly being involved in the murder of Greicy Kelly Gomes do Nascimento, a 31-year-old mother of five children who has been missing since November 17, 2025. The couple was apprehended in the Jockey 2 neighborhood of Campos dos Goytacazes in Northern Fluminense. Family members had expressed concern over Greicy's lack of contact and inactivity on social media and financial accounts, raising suspicions that she may have been killed.
Investigative efforts led to the discovery of skeletal remains at a site indicated by the male suspect, which is in the same neighborhood where the couple was arrested. A forensic examination is to confirm whether the remains belong to the missing woman, intensifying the investigation into the case while giving hope of closure to her family. The couple's temporary arrest was authorized by the 1st Criminal Court, with the police continuing to pursue other leads associated with the murder.
As the investigation unfolds, local authorities are focusing on the timeline of events leading up to Greicy's disappearance and seeking further evidence that may implicate the arrested couple more strongly. This case highlights ongoing concerns regarding the safety of women in Brazil, particularly in cases of domestic violence and murder, and calls for a more significant societal response to escalating violence against women.
