Although she denied putting poison in the chocolate, she admitted to buying it to the Maranhão Civil Police.
According to the Maranhão Civil Police, she was married to Rafael and was unhappy that their marriage ended in divorce.
According to Maurício Martins, secretary of Maranhão’s Department of Security, “the evidence suggests that the crime was motivated by revenge, by jealousy.
Given that the author’s ex-husband is the current partner or boyfriend of the victim, who was poisoned along with her two children,” as reported by Brazilian news outlet G1.
Last Wednesday, Pereira made the trip from Santa Inés to Imperatriz and reserved a hotel room. After that, she went to a chocolate shop and was caught on camera paying for the confection while disguised by a wig.
