The family of quilombola leader Mãe Bernadete hired a private expert to review the results of the examination and the death report carried out by the Civil Police of Bahia. The information was confirmed to the CNN by her son, Jurandir Pacifico.
The leader of the Pitanga dos Palmares quilombo was shot dead on August 17th. Mother Bernadete was 72 years old and was murdered inside the quilombo, which is in the city of Simões Filho, in the metropolitan region of Salvador.
The ialorixá’s family also informed that they will hold a press conference next Monday (13) to address the circumstances of her death.
Crime has not yet been solved
On September 18, the Civil Police of Bahia extended the investigation into Mãe Bernadete’s death for another 30 days. However, the final result has not yet been presented. CNN contacted the corporation to ask for updates on the case and is awaiting a response.
Three suspects involved in Mother Bernadette’s death were arrested in September. The person responsible for the department, Marcelo Werner, stated at the time that it was still “premature to talk about motivation”.
After the crime, the Federal Police in Bahia opened an investigation to investigate the murder. The PF is also investigating the death of Bernadete’s son, Binho do Quilombo, who was shot to death six years ago.
