The Public Ministry of Rio de Janeiro (MP-RJ) denounced Cíntia Mariano Dias Cabral for the murder of student Fernanda Carvalho Cabral, 22, and for the attempted murder of her brother, Bruno Carvalho Cabral, also a student, 16 years old. Cíntia was the brothers’ stepmother and is accused of poisoning their food.
According to the complaint from the 3rd Criminal Investigation Prosecutor of the Bangu and Campo Grande Territorial Area, the stepmother “acted freely and consciously, with the will to kill” her stepchildren, poisoning their food.
“After the facts, both (the victims) presented, as pointed out in the report of the police authority, typical symptoms of exogenous intoxication by carbamate (chumbinho), when verified simultaneously”, he adds.
The complaint also cites the young man’s testimony: “(He) reported that, when he had lunch at the accused’s house, he always served his own food. On the day of the facts, however, his plate was delivered by the defendant and it already contained beans, and he placed the other foods”. Bruno “narrated that, when tasting the beans, he immediately felt a bitter taste and saw some ‘dark balls’, a little bluish, and asked what those balls were, at which time the accused removed the plate from the table and went to the kitchen” .
Cíntia Mariano Dias Cabral has been in prison since May 20. Until the publication of this report, it was not possible to contact the defendant’s defense.
