Overview

• The 59-year-old was found in his Alto de Pinheiros home bound with phone cord and gagged with a towel, showing signs of asphyxia and injuries.
• One man detained earlier told police he struck Silveira in the head, and investigators say he wore the same clothes seen on camera.
• Footage shows Silveira leaving by car at 1:39 a.m., returning at 2:13 a.m., and two men exiting on foot at 5:53 a.m.
• Forensics are testing blood on bedding and assessing whether a knife found in the bathroom was used to threaten him.
• A third man questioned by police on Wednesday was released after testimony, and detectives report no forced entry or evidence that items were taken.
