Man killed in Pará mining region while intervening in domestic dispute

A man, identified as Ronildo Pereira dos Santos, was fatally stabbed in the Butica mining area of Trairão, in southwest Pará, Brazil. The incident occurred during a domino game when a dispute broke out between a couple, Nedson Oliveira de Sousa and Andria Silva Lopes Pinheiro.

According to reports from the Military Police, Santos attempted to intervene to prevent a potential femicide during the argument. During the confrontation, de Sousa attacked Santos with a knife, striking him in the chest. The suspect then fled the scene on a motorcycle accompanied by Pinheiro.

Police later located the suspect and the woman on a ferry on the Jamanxim River, where officers recovered a knife. De Sousa reportedly confessed to the killing. He has been taken into custody and faces investigation for intentional homicide. The Homicide Police Station of Itaituba is handling the case.
