Willian Henrique da Silva, a 17‑year‑old, was found dead on a farm in Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade, Mato Grosso. The body was recovered burned after being moved with a tractor and set on fire with tires. Autopsy showed a gunshot to the head and multiple knife wounds.

Police identified two suspects. Djalma Aparecido de Azambuja Filho, a 29‑year‑old farmer, is at large and is being searched for by the Polícia Civil.
