New Threat Messages and Stepmother’s Account Deepen Homicide Case in São Paulo Double Killing

Investigators frame the crash as intentional homicide, citing jealousy.

Overview

  • Police added WhatsApp exchanges to the case file showing fresh threats sent hours before the crash, including "Cortar seu pescoço" and "vai beijar o diabo."
  • The stepmother told investigators she repeatedly begged Geovanna Proque da Silva to stop the car during the pursuit and described prior psychiatric treatment and medication use.
  • Authorities say CCTV footage shows the car accelerating into the back of the motorcycle, killing Raphael Canuto da Costa and Joyce Correa da Silva, injuring a pedestrian, and striking two parked vehicles.
  • Geovanna remains in preventive detention at the Penitenciária Feminina de Santana after being indicted for double‑qualified intentional homicide, with the Ministério Público to decide on charges after the inquest.
  • Police note conflicting statements about antidepressant use and memory of the incident, with toxicology results pending as part of the ongoing inquiry.
