Rafael Henrique Miguel and his parents, João Alcisio Miguel and Miriam Selma da Silva, were murdered on June 9, 2019 — a case that shocked Brazil.
The person accused of the crime is Paulo Cupertino Matias, who is responsible for triple homicide and will go to the popular jury this Thursday (10). According to the complaint from the Public Ministry of São Paulo (MPSP), Cupertino maintained a relationship of possession with his daughter, Isabela Tibcherani Matias, and did not accept that the young woman had a relationship with Rafael Miguel.
Former actor of “Chiquititas”
Born on July 9, 1996, Rafael Miguel was 22 years old and began his career as an actor at the age of 10, when he debuted in the miniseries “JK”, on TV Globo, as Atenor. In 2006, the child was part of the cast of the soap opera “Cristal”, on SBT, as Bentinho.
In the following years, Rafael acted in the soap operas “Pé de Jaca” and “Cama de Gato”, also on TV Globo, until he returned to SBT in 2013 to give life to Paçoca, a character in “Chiquititas”, where he remained until 2015. The actor won popularity as an actor in children’s soap operas.
Family, music and sport
In one of his last publications, Rafael posted a photo with his family celebrating his 22nd birthday. “Much love and gratitude,” he wrote. The young man’s profile currently has 143 thousand followers.
A fan since childhood, Rafael listened to the songs of Chester Bennington, singer, composer, actor and lead singer of the American band Linkin Park, who passed away in 2017. The young man attended one of the group’s shows in 2012, in São Paulo, on one of the visits from the band to Brazil.
A New England Patriots fan, Rafael follows the National Football League (NFL), the professional American football sports league in the United States.
On social media, the young man shared his daily life of skateboarding, going out with friends and his cat “Luna”. Astronomy was also one of the boy’s hobbies.
