The man suspected of killing a woman in the Itapuã neighborhood, in Salvador, on Sunday afternoon (18), had his arrest in the act converted into preventative arrest by the courts after a custody hearing this Tuesday (20). He was identified as Edeelson de Pinho Santana.
The prisoner is still hospitalized and therefore did not present himself for a hearing. Representatives from the Public Ministry and Defense were heard during the procedural act, with audio recording on digital media. Criminal record certificates, searches for open arrest warrants and research into ongoing cases against the suspect were also gathered.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office presented an opinion in favor of approving the arrest in flagrante delicto and converting the suspect into preventive detention, to guarantee public order. The Defense spoke orally requesting provisional release with or without the application of precautionary measures other than prison.
Remember the case
According to the Military Police, agents from the 15th CIPM were called to investigate the report of a woman injured by a knife in a house on Rua Rafael Jambeiro. Upon arriving at the scene, the military confirmed the fact.
The Samu team visited the residence and found that the woman did not survive her injuries. The victim’s partner was also treated and transferred to a health unit in the region, where he remains in custody.
