Police find new assets in the house of elderly kept dead by children in RJ

Which started as a Civil Police routine operation ended with a themselves in the Island of Governador, in the North Zone of Rio . Marcelo Marchese d’Ottavio and Tania Conceição Marchese d’Ottavio were arrested on Wednesday (21) for concealment of corpse, resistance and bodily injury, after the agents found their father’s body, Dario Antonio Raffaele d’Ottavio, 88, in advanced state of decomposition indoors.

Researchers believe that the death happened at least six months ago, according to reports of neighbors.

During the fulfillment of a search and seizure warrant, the police of the 37th DP (Governor Island) came across not only with the corpse, but also with newly admitted goods with the appearance of new ones. The scene reinforced a suspicion that was already being raised: the brothers could be financially benefited from their father’s death, keeping their body in a room of the residence to continue receiving their earnings.

Brothers who hid body: see what was the motivation, according to police

“It’s a very intriguing and macabre case, thinking that two brothers lived for at least six months with their dead father at home,” said Deputy Felipe Santoro, head of the 37th DP. “We are investigating if there was financial motivation, if they were accessing retirement or benefits in the name of the elderly. It is still a preliminary phase, but the evidence points in this direction.”

The approach was not quiet. Marcelo responded violently to the presence of the police and went into a body struggle with one of the agents. Tania tried to defend her brother and also invested against the police. Both were contained and arrested in the act.

Dario’s body was sent to the Forensic Medical Institute (IML), where he will undergo examinations to determine the cause and exact moment of death. Researchers now work to clarify how long the body remained in the house and if there was financial movement after death.

The brothers were hospitalized under medical observation, with evidence of possible psychological disorders, and were later sent to the court for custody hearing.
