Last Friday (6), the Court of Rio Grande do Sul denied the request to extend the temporary arrest of Carla Carolina Abreu Souza, investigated for involvement in the death of her daughter, Kerollyn Souza Ferreira, 9 years old, found dead on August 9 of this year, in a garbage container, in the city of Guaíba, in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre.
Judge Andreia da Silveira Machado, of the 1st Criminal Court of the District of Guaíba, argued that the suspect’s temporary arrest, which is valid until this Sunday (8), is no longer necessary for the investigation to proceed. Although there are pending expert reports related to the case, the judge understands that the suspect cannot interfere with police work.
“The extension of temporary detention will only occur in cases of extreme and proven necessity, depending on the indication of subsequent investigative steps that prove necessary, the execution of which demonstrates the imperative need for detention, which was not referenced by the police authority in the present representation-extension”, argued the judge.
By court order, Carla Carolina will not be able to leave the city where she lives without prior authorization and will have to appear in court monthly. She is also prohibited from having contact with her other children.
Remember the case
The girl Kerollyn Souza Ferreira, 9 years old, was found dead on August 9th of this year, in a garbage container, in the city of Guaíba, in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre.
The body was found by a man who works with recycling materials, who called the Military Police.
According to authorities, the child had already suffered episodes of violence and was constantly neglected by her mother, with whom she lived. The woman was temporarily arrested after the child’s death and is being investigated for possible involvement and negligence in relation to the child’s well-being.
In a recent statement to the police, Carla Carolina confessed to having self-medicated and medicated her daughter hours before the girl was found dead.
The cause of the victim’s death is still under investigation and has not yet been clarified. Now, the investigation aims to verify the existence of medications or substances in the body that may have caused the girl’s death.
