Overview
- Police say Bárbara Jankavski, 31, was found the night of Nov. 2 in a Lapa residence, semi-nude, with a left-eye injury and marks on her back.
- A 51-year-old public defender, identified in reports as Renato Campos Pinto de Vitto, told officers he hired her for sexual services, they used illicit substances, and he attempted CPR before calling emergency services.
- Emergency dispatchers guided resuscitation efforts by phone, and a Samu physician pronounced her dead at 21:07.
- A woman who had been at the residence earlier told police she saw Jankavski slip and fall around 4 a.m., which she said caused the eye injury.
