Overview

• Michele Paiva da Silva was detained on a temporary warrant at a university in Engenho Novo as a suspect in the April death of her father, Neil Corrêa da Silva, 65.
• Forensic teams are exhuming the victim on Thursday to run toxicology tests that could indicate whether the feijoada he ate was laced with a toxic substance.
• Neil died at Hospital Adão Pereira Nunes hours after the meal in Duque de Caxias on April 26, though his death certificate cites acute medical causes and poisoning remains unproven.
• A judge‑authorized phone data break uncovered messages between Michele and Ana Paula Azevedo Fernandes discussing the possibility of poisoning via feijoada, according to police.
• Investigators say the case is tied to three homicides in Guarulhos attributed to the same group; Ana Paula has been denounced in those São Paulo cases, and Michele is awaiting a custody hearing after informally denying involvement.
