The 26 -year -old student Brendo dos Santos Sampaio’s car was driving the vehicle that ran over and killed the young Isabelli Helena de Lima Costa and Isabela Priel Regis, both 18, had modifications to possible cracks.
The information was given by the magistrate who conducted the accused’s custody hearing, which took place last Thursday (11). According to him, “the accused’s vehicle was full modified to generate more power in acceleration, with two sports exhausts, implying that he participates in ‘crack’.”
During the hearing, the court converted the arrest in the act of Brendo to preventive. The case took place last Wednesday (09), on Avenida Goiás, one of the busiest in São Caetano do Sul, in ABC Paulista.
One of the hypotheses of the crime is that Brendo would be taking a crack with another vehicle. The information is contained in the police report registered after the case.
In addition, a witness told police that another vehicle of the white chevrolet model in white would be traveling at high speed with the suspect’s car.
In a statement to the police, the driver stated that the traffic light was green for the passage of vehicles. However, according to police, the signal was yellow at the time of being run over.
Also according to the delegate Kelly Sachetto, responsible for the investigation, the qualification of Brendo would be suspended next Monday (14) by the number of points.
The history of infringements, according to Kelly, makes police believe that the suspect was an “reckless driver.” “We have several questions that, by gathering with each other, makes us believe that he was a reckless driver,” he said.
Speed
New images obtained by CNN Show the 26 -year -old law student Brendo dos Santos Sampaio, who drove the car who ran over and killed young Isabelli Helena de Lima Costa and Isabela Priel Regis, both 18, at high speed moments before the crime.
In the images, taken from security cameras, it is possible to see that the Honda Civic driven by Brendo passes by cutting the other vehicles that were on the road

Case
Isabelli and Isabela were thrown to about 50 meters from the pedestrian strip, where they were hit by the vehicle due to the violence of the impact. According to the Fire Department, the young women had multiple fractures.
Images of monitoring cameras show Isabelli and Isabela crossing the avenue in the pedestrian range. Seconds later, the car, in high speed, reaches both.

What the defenses say
The lawyer of the families of the teenagers killed in São Caetano do Sul said, in an interview with CNN, that the driver was more than 120 km/h at the time of the accident.
He stressed that the exact number will still be confirmed with the official scientific police report, but argues that the speed is incompatible with the limit of the road, which was 60 km/h.
Rafael Dias also pointed out that the images show the vehicle passing as a “figure”, which, for him, ensures high speed, above the permitted on site.
On the other hand, the student’s defense classified what happened as a “fatality”, so where the victims tried to cross the avenue when the traffic light would be red for them.
Lawyers Francisco Ferreira and Thaís Vianna, who represent a brend, still stated that he did not see the victims, but provided help after the accident.
In testimony, the student claimed that the traffic light was green for vehicle traffic.
“I was traveling on the street normally, returning from college, home, when I came across I was looking at the traffic light in front and saw that he yellowed, when I looked at my time, I saw that he was still green, then yellow and reddish, it was when I met with the two women,” he said.
Fine for high speed
On January 13, 2025, Brendo was caught driving the same car at 97km/h on Guido Aliberti Avenue, also in São Caetano, above the limit allowed for the road, which was 60km/h.
The limit in question is the same as Avenida Goiás, the site of the running of young Isabelli and Isabela on Wednesday (9). According to the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB), the penalty is considered very serious and resulting in the suspension of the right to drive with the loss of CNH for a period of 2 to 8 months.
