In the interior of Amazonas, a 28-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday, October 17, on suspicion of having pushed 47-year-old Raimundo da Silva Santos into a river, an incident that allegedly resulted in Raimundo's death. The event occurred on February 28 at a floating platform in the port of Manacapuru, where a video captured the moment of the altercation.
