CCTV Shows Assault Before Woman’s Fatal Fall in São Paulo as Companion Is Jailed in Feminicide Probe

Investigators point to building footage alongside bathroom door damage to assess a possible feminicide.

Overview

  • Newly released internal cameras show Maria Katiane running through the garage, later being grabbed by the neck and shoved into an elevator by her companion, who soon after returns alone.
  • Moments later she is found on the garage floor, the fire department is called, and she does not survive.
  • Police released video of the operation that detained Alex Leandro Bispo on a preventive basis on December 9 during the ongoing investigation.
  • Forensic photos document a damaged bathroom door with indications of forced entry, and witnesses reported a very loud noise from the apartment.
  • The defense argues she fell by herself and cites interior images said to show her running toward the balcony, while police continue to analyze the evidence.
