Paulo Fábio Rodrigues do Carmo has been sentenced to 21 years in prison for the murder of his partner, which was classified as femicide. The crime took place in the early hours of July 13, 2024, on Avenida Lourenço da Silva Braga in downtown Manaus, a known busy area. The prosecution reported that the victim was brutally stabbed multiple times, and the incident shocked the community, leading to immediate outrage among witnesses. During the trial, which was part of the 32nd edition of the Justice Week for Peace at Home, Rodrigues confessed to the crime but claimed he acted in self-defense. However, the jury rejected this defense and accepted the prosecution's argument of qualified homicide, identifying the murder as femicide motivated by base reasons. Judge Rafael Rodrigo da Silva Raposo highlighted the seriousness of the crime, noting the high public exposure of the incident, which incited anger among those who witnessed the attack. The decision serves as an important legal stance against domestic violence and femicide in Brazil, signaling a commitment to addressing and punishing gender-based violence in society.
