A 35-year-old man attacked his own partner in an attempted femicide, early Saturday morning (5), in Santa Bárbara do Leste. After an argument, he threw gasoline on the woman's body and then set her on fire. She was saved by her son, who heard her screams and ran to her aid. She is now under the care of the Caratinga Emergency Care Unit, in serious condition.
The 42-year-old woman managed to survive thanks to her son's efforts to put out the flames. The one who called for medical assistance was a neighbor, who helped in the tense moment, at 2:30 a.m., in the Nossa Senhora de Lourdes neighborhood. At the moment, she remains in serious condition and there is no new information about her condition or any medical prognosis regarding the possibility of discharge.
The flames thrown by the man reached the property where the three live, and so the Fire Department had to intervene to contain the damage. The technical expertise of the Civil Police also acted in the case.
After the attempted femicide, the man fled towards the house of relatives, on Av. José Geraldo dos Mercês. There, he attempted suicide, throwing himself from the third floor of a building. After the fall, he received help from passersby, who took him to the Hospital Nossa Senhora Auxiliadora, with fractures and burns.
The man is under the care of the medical team, awaiting transfer by SUSFACIL. He remains under police escort and in custody.
