Man will respond for seven qualified homicides, theft and major robbery (under serious threat); crime occurred in a bar, in Sinop, in the interior of the State
A Justice do Mato Grosso accepted the denunciation of public ministry and made Edgar Ricardo de Oliveira defendant and converted the temporary prison to preventive. The man is named as the author of the shots that killed seven people in a bar, in Sinop, in the interior of the State, in February. He will answer for seven qualified homicides, theft and major robbery (under serious threat). The action was recorded by a monitoring camera installed inside the establishment. The motive for the crime was a bet on a pool match. He and his friend Ezequias Souza Ribeiro revolted after losing the match, whose winner would take a sum of money, and killed seven people. The MP’s complaint points out that the amount bet is R$ 4 thousand. One of the victims is a 12-year-old child. Ezequias died in a confrontation with military police from the Special Operations Battalion (Bope), according to the Civil police. Judge Rosângela Zacarkim dos Santos ordered the secrecy of the crime scene and necropsy reports, “to preserve the images of the victims.” Two qualifiers were added to the decision: vile motive, use of cruel means, by means of common danger and by means of an appeal that made it difficult for the victims to defend themselves. The other is for the death of a 12-year-old girl. The defendant’s defense has 10 days to respond to the indictment. A Young pan tries to locate Edgar’s defense.
