A woman's body was discovered wrapped in a sheet in a forest area of Goiânia, and police are investigating the case as a feminicide.

The body of Ana Lúcia Gomes da Silva, a 44-year-old woman, was found wrapped in a sheet in a wooded area in the Santos Dumont neighborhood of Goiânia. The discovery was made by workers from a nearby business who noticed suspicious signs and alerted the military police. Ana Lúcia had been reported missing since Saturday, and her body was located on Tuesday, October 17, next to the GO-070 highway.

Investigations by the civil police are centering on the victim's ex-partner, who is the main suspect in her suspected feminicide.
